Hi everyone! Ok so this week we are starting a new project and its called Double exposure portrait images and they are really cool! Portrait photography is basically taking pictures of a person or group of people that shows expression, personality, and mood of the subject. Like other types of portraiture, the focus of the photo is usually the person's face (eyes), but the entire body and the background or other details can be included. To make that easier to understand portraits are pictures of people! Profile view is the side view of someones face like a mugshot. In a profile you can usually only see half of their face (one eye, half of a mouth and nose...) Silhouetting is the dark shape and outline of someone or something visible against a lighter background.
To create a double exposure, take 2 pictures of something you like or that describes you and a profile picture of you. Then you open photoshop, you hit file, scrips, load files into stack and then choose the photos you want to create your double exposure. When you have the pictures loaded, start doing the space around your profile shot until the space around you is white or close to white. When you finish that double click the layers and go to blend mode and press screen so you can see all the layers together in one. Then you press layer, new adjustment layers, and then play around with the ones you like until you get something you really love. After that save the image and voilla you got a double exposure image!
I chose surfboards and trees as my two symbolism images because I love to surf and I like nature and I climb trees in my backyard. I used curves, vibrance, and hue and saturation as my adjustment layers. To explain the purpose my images more I'll give you some back ground info about me. Surfing is my favorite sport and I've surfed a lot in my life so i thought my surfboards would make a great image for my Multi image. I put the trees because I really like how they looked and the texture, I also put the trees in because I have several trees in my back yard that I used to climb a lot when I was little and I also fell from a tree so why not?
