DOUBLE/MULTI EXPOSURES

When a double exposure is seen in photography it means that photos have been layered on top of each other, often creating strange effects.

Lewis Bush uses multi exposures in his photo ‘trading zones’ in which he layers images of different people working in the finance industry to explore the monotony and lack of individuality in the work place.

Instead of doing this with multiple people I am going to use photos of myself throughout the years in order to see how much I myself have changed as I have grown older. The photos are mainly not taken by me, a lot of the older photos having come directly from my mums facebook page.

Here are my photos cropped and put roughly in chronological order which is the order in which my photos will be layered onto each other.

On photoshop I made each photo the same size, layered them on top of each other and turned down the opacity to 30 % on each photo. By doing this I created my final image.

Overall I like this photo even though it looks so strange. Ideally I would centre the photos I would calibrate the features to match so I had a more human looking end result
