Double Exposure 2

The document discusses the process of creating double exposure photographs using Photoshop. It provides examples of blending landscape images with portraits to emulate the style of the TV show True Detective. Different blending modes like Screen and Color Dodge are used to achieve pale, see-through effects. The author aims to experiment with overlaying animal subjects on landscapes to explore relationships between figure and background. Risks of studio photography like lighting hazards and computer ergonomics are also outlined.

Double Exposure My

Photoshop Work
Here are screen-shots of me making my double exposures
Evaluation and improvements
• I tried to emulate the True Detective intro images by using (secondary source landscape photos)
of industrial style landscapes of chimneys, smoke and metal factories to achieve this. I found that
different images needed different settings to get it how I wanted. Such as to get the low opacity,
see-though look of True Detective I used the Screen blending filter and then changed the opacity
of the background image to be just the right level of vividness and brightness to get pale and
muted colours. The blending modes colour lighten and colour dodge also created these effects
and suited the styles I was trying to create. 
• I like how you can create a story and a relationship between the figure and the background
by using the double exposure technique. I tried to create different atmospheres with different
landscapes including factories, deserts, forests and much more. 
• As I really liked the pale colours in the nature images I found as examples I also did some nature
style images. I used secondary source images of forests, desert landscapes, and water falls to
create a few of my own examples.
• I would like to try this technique with animals like on some of the examples I found. To see how
you could play around with the subject's relation between the animal and landscape, such as
creating a contrast by putting a desert landscape exposed in a polar bear. 
• Here is an article I used to research the photoshop double exposure technique.

On the left is me using the Camera Raw
Process Screen-shots Plugin to do some basic editing on the
original profile image. I turned it black &
white so the colours in the background
factory image creates a subtly contrast.

Process Screen-shots
Here is a before and after example of the original portrait
photo and then on the right the double exposed version. I
used a cityscape image of New York overlaid beneath the
original photo using the blending modes. 
Example of me using adjustments and then
Process Screen-shots colour to edit the lighthouse image. And on
the right using the blending tool panel to
create an overlay exposure.

H&S / Risk assessment
• Studio lighting – be careful around the lighting set-ups as sometimes
there can be wires hanging from them and the equipment is very
expensive. 
• Using computers at work - make note of how long you have been
sitting at a computer screen take regular breaks and consider your
posture. 
• If you are using make-up for any photoshoots make sure to do a patch
test first, as to not get a bad allergic reaction. 
• When using the camera put the safety strap around your neck to
avoid dropping and breaking the camera.
