Each set up creates different lighting and shadows/ shapes which appear on the face.

Juxtaposition in photography is a fascinating concept. It happens when two or more people/objects are compared side by side, creating an interesting contrast in colors, shapes, lines, etc.

It’s a very significant way to describe two contrasting effects of objects, ideas, people, images, and animals in a single photo. In simple words, juxtaposition in pictures is to capture different things that are put next to each other.

This technique can be used in your compositions  to play with peoples’ curiosity and thoughtfulness regarding the moments and scenes you capture.

Juxtaposition occurs when two things are placed side by side for comparison, often to highlight the contrast between the elements. The simplest example would be the yin-yang symbol.

Juxtaposition–

In photography, Juxtaposition is used to create contrast between two images placed next to each other. These images could be of completely different things, have different colours and compositions and doing this makes both photos seem more interesting as the audience wonders how they relate to one another, noticing their similarities and differences.

Overall these were fun and interesting to make but would have probably looked better if I had planned to make a juxtaposition from the start instead of having to reuse my older images. I like how in the last one I made their background’s switch to the opposite colour when the picture was cropped as I think it makes the composition more unique.

What is a montage photography?

a combination of several photographs joined together for artistic effect or to show more of the subject than can be shown in a single photograph. Also called montage.

Photomontages are similar to cubism. There are no bounds of perspective or time. You can create a single artwork using several images of the same or many subjects. Doing this in a cohesive manner gives exciting results.

composite photographic image made either by pasting together individual prints or parts of prints, by successively exposing individual images onto a single sheet of paper, or by exposing the component images simultaneously through superimposed negatives.

Dora mar

Henriette Theodora Markovich, known as Dora Maar, was a French photographer, painter, and poet. A love partner of Pablo Picasso, Maar was depicted in a number of Picasso’s paintings, including his Portrait of Dora Maar and Dora Maar au Chat.

Unlike many other photomontage creators of this time, Maar did not use photographs taken from illustrated newspapers or magazines. Instead the images often came from her own work, including both street and landscape photography.

The photos I will use

Double and multi exposure

In photography and cinematography, a multiple exposure is the superimposition of two or more exposures to create a single image, and double exposure has a corresponding meaning in respect of two images. The exposure values may or may not be identical to each other.

What is double exposure mode?

By releasing the shutter twice in the double exposure mode, you can superimpose two different images in a single photo. Enjoy adding an exquisitely artistic nuance, different from that created by normal digital processing.

Using multiple exposure gives you a terrific way to create soft, silky flower images blending two images. Using a tripod keeps the flower stationary during both images which will give you better results. Set the blend mode to Average, focus on the flower and take the first shot.

A double exposure is a photograph composed of two combined and overlaid images. You can create double exposures in Photoshop or with digital cameras using a special setting. These images often have a dreamy, otherworldly feel and you can use them for great artistic effect, with both digital cameras and film.

My example of double / multi exposure

Photos I will use:

A photomontage is the combination of 2 or more photographs joined together to make one single image. This can be done either digitally or manually using scissors. Photomontage is often used as a means of expressing political dissent. It was first used as a technique by the Dadaists in 1915 in their protests against the First World War.
