Double exposure - Statue

The original photograph before the double exposure experiment was created

The first image was created using two versions of the original photograph mirroring one over the other. The resulting image has produced a two headed mermaid on a cobra’s body riding a large wave heading towards the viewer

 

The second image was quadruple exposed with the original photograph mirrored and the resulting image flipped. The original mermaid is too intense within the image compared with the faded double exposure which in my opinion is not as detailed as my previous experiment.

Double exposure - Robin on Watering Can


The original photograph before the double exposure experiment was created

The second of the double exposure images created in Photoshop whilst at college.  After this first attempt on my own I realised that I needed more practice at home to avoid a similar result which reminded me of a rolling picture on an old television screen.

With a little more practice working in Photoshop I managed to create two different versions of a double exposure using the same original photograph. 

The first image was created using four versions of the same photograph, firstly by mirroring the image and then flipping the mirrored result. I especially like the position of the Robin which is centered within the image.

The second image was created using two version of the original photograph by mirroring one over the other. 

The green watering is reminiscent of a twin handled urn with the Robin spinning rapidly on top forming the stopper. In the background the blurred pampas grass contrasts against the main subject. I personally like the both these images and would not change anything.
