To create a double exposure in-camera with our Nikon cameras, you will need to shoot those photos in RAW.

So what exactly is a double exposure?


A simple photographic effect where one picture is superimposed over another.


It sounds like a mistake from the days of film…


Double exposures used to be an occupational hazard when using film cameras. A dodgy loading system or a careless photographer would often lead to two exposures accidentally being made on the same piece of film. But the artistic benefits of combining images were soon discovered by photographers such as Sarah Moon.


We will learn about double exposures in the camera, but for this assignment we will be taking two separate images and combining them in photoshop using the following tutorial(s) as guides to your composition:

Criteria:

You will take RAW photos with the camera and create a double exposure image in-camera.  We will go through how to achieve this in class.  Once you have one made in the camera, upload a creative double exposure image to your blog.

You will also need make two different double exposure images in photoshop, using two different people (one can be yourself). The portrait-type images of the people will work better if they are of the shoulders and up. Also, if the person is looking off-camera or in profile, those will work best.

You will then decide what scene to combine with the portraits. These can be landscapes/nature, cityscapes, a photo of the same person but in a certain environment so the person is smaller, etc.
