Double/ multi exposure

Double/ multi exposure is the combination of two or more exposures to create a single image. The exposure values may not be exact creating a ghost like figure.

Muhammed Faread

Muhammed Faread is an American/ Egyptian artist from Seattle, Washington state USA. He is a graphic designer, who is especially captivated by double exposure. Using double exposure, he explores the power of it as a form of visual poetry.

He has combined an image of a person with their hands over their face with one of their face and made it so that the image of their face is partially visible. The visibility is enough so that we can see his eyes, nose, mouth and ears.

My Edits

To make the images below, I had to get photos of the same subject in either the same or different positions, facial expressions and lighting color. I then dragged the images onto each other and changed the opacity of all the images except the back image so that it creates a ghostly shape and multiple colors.

The Best Image

The image above is the best because It has many different exposures which contrast different colours and subject positions. It creates a phantom subject which makes viewers think about which exposure is the real one. The different images used to make the image have different facial expressions showing the idea of putting on a face which is different to what she is actually feeling.
