Image Bank- Multiple Exposure

I like how multiple exposure has been used here to enhance the size and detail of the London eye. This image shows how people use multiple exposure in a variety of ways to shows places or people in a more interesting manor. Tones are often used within multiple exposure to help create a dramatic effect and atmosphere within the piece. Tones also highlights certain messages displayed by the image. Below is a variety of some multiple exposure images which I found when researching the technquie. At the end of this post will be a link to a post which describes how multiple exposure could be carried out, however this is technique is often very complex to create depending on the images and ability of the camera. Most require extensive work in photoshop and not just the use of camera settings to create a incrediable image. For this reason it is hard to judge how each multiple exposure image was created.

I like the way in which this multiple exposure image still shows both images fully. A mixture of colours and patterns are used to help increase the appeal of this image and create a gentle but dramatic atmosphere. I way in which these image have been overlaid show both the girls background and the surround of the plants which are outside of the girls outline. This creates an interesting image compared to many other multiple exposure images which is intriguing to viewer.

I like how the texture on the hands has been created through this multiple exposure. Along with the gradual change and missing specs of the hand. I think this image suggests a loss or difficult letting go of a person or object.  Missing areas of the hand help to demonstrate an idea of fading away and enhance this image of loss. The positing of the hand also appears to be reaching out and makes people question where to or what for. Although this image is made of two simple photographs the join of this images have created a complex pieces which can be interitaed in various different ways 

Overall, although I only briefly looked at multiple exposure I am impressed with how it is used to display strong ideas in a more appealing way and makes people think and questions settings or scenes whilst wonder what the original image was like. I find this technique to display images which appear very complex and filled with interesting detail. Often multiple exposure involved an image showing a texture which is then placed over a model showing this texture through the models skin. This is shown a lot within the images elected below. I think this is an interesting way to include multiple formal elements within one image. Patterns, textures and bright colours help to build the multiple exposure image. I find this technique to be very inspiring and would be interesting to explore in further detail my creating my own multiple exposure images.  

One photographer which I found was Andre De Freitas, he is a photographer who I found to have worked on many multiple exposure images and I used a variety of his images as examples within this image bank. 

Linked blow is a short description of how multiple exposure images can be created.
