I chose to do this style of portraiture as I wanted to challenge myself by being able to create multi-exposure on a camera and on Photoshop.

Research/ information on Double/ multi-exposure:

Double or multiple exposures are an illusion created by layering images (or portions of images) over the top of each other. This can be achieved in the camera settings, or on Adobe Photoshop by creating LAYERS and then using BLENDING OPTIONS and OPACITY CONTROL. 

Artists explore these techniques to dive into  Surrealist ideas, ‘dream-like imagery’. The blur and sense that the image was taken twice creates the affect that it explores time. Artists that explore Double/multi-exposure: Man Ray, Alexander Rodchenko and Claude Cahun.

My take on Double/ multi-exposure:

The following edits were made using the camera and having it on multi exposure setting.

The next following edits are made using photoshop and merging images together and changing the opacity:
