LECTURES

Double Exposure

This week, we learned about Double Exposure and Image Blending Mode in Photoshop. These two effects are to create images that are unlogical, surreal and emotional. 

Double Exposure and Image Blending Mode
Double exposure photography refers to merging multiple images. The goal is to make them surreal, emotional, or humorous.

Ways to create double exposure effect:
1. Use the tilt-shift effect
2. Create a fake reflection
3. Experiment with simple portraits and details textured
4. Convert your results to Black & White
5. Work with silhouette
6. Pick two random photos
7. Make simple objects look fascinating

Blend modes in digital image editing and computer graphics are used to determine how two layers are blended with each other.

TUTORIAL

Double Exposure

We have to watch the double exposure tutorial video made by Mr Martin first and download the images needed. Then we should follow the steps in the video to create the same artwork as demonstrated.

PART 2: My own double exposure
In this part, we are to create our own double exposure using our own portrait and other images to create the effect of double exposure. 

I have taken my own portrait and found some images on the internet for this exercise.
