Project 2 - Double Exposure & Exercises
❥LECTURES
Double Exposure : merging of multiple images. the goal is to make them
surreal, emotional or humorous.
Methods
1. Using the tilt shift effect (blur one of your photos instead
of the entire image)
2. Create fake reflection
3. Experiment with simple portraits and details textured
4. Convert your results to black and white
5. Work with silhouette
6. Pick two random photos
7. Make simple objects look fascinating
8. Use Shadow
Blend Modes

❥INSTRUCTIONS
❥EXERCISE 1 — DOUBLE EXPOSURE
Fig 1.2 Process of Adding the trees
I didnt know what to add below the meadow of flowers behind my
head so I decided to add an image of a man posing on a
mountain but after reiceving the feedback, I realized that the
image of the man on the mountain and the flowers do not
complement each other since they reflect different themes, so
I decided to replace that with flowers as according to the
feedback given. They also look pretty cluttered and the image
of the man on the mountain had a large contrast from the image
of the field of flowers and did not match the theme.
For this exercise we explore the various aspects of tools to
create a double exposure. Double exposure refers to the
merging of multiple images to achieve a surrealistic image.
Through this exercise, we also learn how to use various
blending modes.
Fig 1.1 Progress of Selecting and Masking
After using quick selection to select the object, we
had to mask the object to clean the edges
precisely.
Next, the image of the forest was added and
repositioned, then a solid colour layer was added for
the background. The face was unmasked using a brush. The
forest layer was then duplicated and turned upside down.
Last but not least the images of the birds and the
clouds were added with the multiply and darken blending
modes.

❥PROJECT 2
Fig 2.1 Image of myself
I wanted to go for a flower themed double exposure so I
decided to edit half of my body with flowers with
butterflies on the flowers. I utilized my pose in the image
to further emphasize the flowery theme by adding a butterfly
on the flowers held in my hands. The method used for
creating this double exposure is similar to the steps in the
first exercise.

Fig 2.3 Progress of Double Exposure after feedback
After reconsidering the feedback, I decided to replace the
image of the man on the mountain with cropped out sakura
flower images to fit the overall theme of the double
exposure design. I made my backbone as a trail of sakura
flowers.

The procedures for the other displacement exercises in
figures 2.2 and 2.3 are the same.
❥FEEDBACK
Week 6 — Double Exposure : Too many things going on, too
cluttered. Did not focus on one theme. Remove the image of
the man on the mountain and replace it with flowers.
