Headshots – Double/Multi exposure

Double or multi exposure is a style of photography that superimposes two, or more, images to create one single image. This technique first emerged in the 1860s when it was used by photographers to earn more money, by making the subject of the photograph appear twice within one image. This originally was done by photographing over already used film, however nowadays we are able to create similar results using resources such as Photoshop.

Edited Images

For these double/multi exposure edits I took some of my previous studio portrait photography and edited them using Photoshop. To do this I dragged one portrait over another similar to it, and used the opacity tool to lighten the top layer, making it so both images are visible. I then adjusted the photographs and placed them making sure the faces were slightly apart from each other.
