WEEK 5: LECTURE

Double Exposure

  • Merge multiple images, often using silhouettes, to create surreal or emotional effects.
  • Convert to black & white for added intensity, or experiment with random photo combinations for unique results.

Convert results to black and white

  • Lack of color strengthens the emotion in double-exposure images

Work with Silhouette

  • Silhouette gives you a fun and doable challenge

Pick Two Random Photos

  • Random photo pairings can create unexpected stories. Focus on textures and shapes for unique, accidental blends.

Make Simple Objects Fascinating

  • Capture ordinary objects creatively—transform a building’s silhouette into a starry sky outline, sparking imagination.

Use Shadows

  • Shadows add depth to double exposures. Photograph shadows to create outlines with endless storytelling possibilities.

Photoshop: Blend Modes

  • Blend Mode Experimentation: Blend modes are best explored through trial and error since results can be unpredictable. Experiment with modes and Fill Opacity to find the best effect for each subject.

  • Blending Guide for Complex Subjects: For challenging subjects (like smoke or fire), blend modes like “Screen” can make complex compositions easier.

    • Example:
      1. Place Layer 1 (e.g., fire) over the Background (e.g., musicians).
      2. In the Blending Modes menu, select Screen.
      3. This removes dark pixels, creating a seamless blend for effects like smoke or fire overlaid on an image.
