Double/Multi exposures


A double exposure is a combination of two images into one where one image is overlaid on top of another with an opacity less than full opacity. Often done with artistic intention. In digital photography, double exposures can be made in Photoshop specifically to achieve digital double exposures.

Double Exposure Portraits

Double or multi exposure is a technique used by photographers that uses layering in order to combine 2 or more photos into 1 to create an almost ghost-like affect. This can be done on film cameras by inserting used film back into the camera and taking photographs over the top of the film, or in Photoshop by layering images and adjusting the opacity.

To edit these images I layered 3 images over each other and adjusted the opacity in order to fade out the images as they get further from the original image. I also used the monochrome filter on one of the layers to create a ghost-like affect.
