Double Exposure
In film and photography double exposure is a technique in which a piece of film is exposed twice. The resulting photographic image shows the second image superimposed over the first. This technique can be used to create ghostly images or to add people and objects to a scene that were not originally there. Using Photoshop’s editing capabilities, a “fake” double exposure can be created with your digital photographs.
Assignment:
Create 2 different Double Exposures. All Photographs must be your original work.
- Focus on your identity. What do you want to say about your personality through your artwork.
Purpose and Technical Learning Outcomes:
- To develop your artistic eye, and learn the technique of creating a photographic montage through double exposure in photoshop.

WHAT TO DO:
Brainstorm a plan for your image and think about what different images will be required to create it. Shoot photos specifically for combining into a multiple-exposure image. You may use previous images from other lessons or shoot new images.
