double exposure- artist research

I think one of my favorite photographers who has done work on double exposure would be Christoffer Relander. He was best known for his series called “We Are Nature”. He layers the original portrait photo and layers a blurred nature image on top which is known as double exposure.

Emotional aspects-

I really like these photos they feel very tranquil and calming because all the colours are quite dull and muted but the way it’s blended makes it work

Visual aspects-

I think this image really works I like the fact it is in colour and you have the rich greens showing through unlike some of his other images.

I also really like how you can still see the model’s face very clearly underneath the nature/trees and the trees are almost being used as her hair i think that looks really successful.

technical aspects-

if you use the rule of thirds you can tell they have all the darker parts of the image where the hair would be in the collum on the right and the middle collum seems to be the most bright and colourful. The side on the left is probably the dullest it doesn’t have much it other than the model’s face.

conceptual aspects-

I get the impression from his work that Relander is trying to show us the beauty the calming effect of nature​
I would love to recreate his work I think it’s so interesting and beautiful and would be a great one to recreate.

contextual aspects-

This style of work is from his “We Are Nature” collection. Christoffer Relander is a Finnish photographer who liked the idea of pairing up each subject/model with different geographical/natural elements.
