Man Ray was an American visual artist who spent most of his career in Paris. He was a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements, although his ties to each were informal. He produced major works in a variety of media but considered himself a painter above all. (Wikipedia) Above is a multi exposure piece by him which I will be basing my image on.

To get started I repeated the same steps as when I made my double exposure image on another blog, but I then turned the opacity right up, rather than leaving the layers at half opacity. I left the background as it was but then for the extra additions on the left and right, I doubled the cut-outs, turned the opacity down on the copy and placed it slightly off to create a sense of motion blur. Finally I turned the image black and whit and increased the contrast slightly.

This is how it turned out. However, to complete this image I cropped it similarly to Man Ray’s.
