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.
