Captivating Examples of Double Exposure Photography

“These images are of my friend, Olivia, who wanted double exposures of herself to use in a personal identity project. I took the portraits of her using my Canon Rebel T5 and then paired them with stock photos from Unsplash. Once in Photoshop, it was just a matter of experimenting with blending modes until I found the effect I wanted. I generally place the portrait at the bottom of the layer stack and then blend the second photo on top of it, using Overlay, Screen, Lighten, Soft light, or a combination of blending modes and adjusting the layer opacity. Once I’ve settled on the blend I apply a layer mask to the second photo and use the brush tool to paint in the areas that I want the blend stronger or weaker. The mask is mainly to help me keep facial features distinct. Lastly, I add adjustment layers for color and contrast and apply sharpening as needed.”

“I made this photo using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 only.. Using the layer mode setting in Photoshop I just explore the use of different layer mode there such as overlay, vivid light, soft light. The Girl in the first photo is Vienne Gapasin and the two guy there is her brother Mon Gapasin.. We shoot for a fashion shoot for beauty and and Black and white concept.. In the office during break time I usually explore the internet to see things that is so unique in the eye of the viewer one time while browsing the web I see this thing that called Double exposure / multiple exposure. Well, Im so amaze of this kind of shot.. 2 photos with different kinds of shot bringing  together.. and  then it all started to open my photoshop and try to do this things.. i think an hour before I do this double exposure lot of patience is we need while doing  this very technical.. you will ask your self how to merge this two things with different shot? What kinds of tools? Do I need to use to merge this in one but beautifully artistic effect? So many question..but after I made one of this I continue to learn more and to explore for more different style in this kind of editing.”
