Want to create a double exposure photograph? It's easy to do, but to get it right, you need to think ahead.
Steps
-
Find out if your camera will shoot double exposure or if there is a way to do it after you take photographs.
-
Put some thought, beforehand, into what you want your double exposure to look like. While the whole process is somewhat serendipitous, you can have some control over the result with careful planning.Advertisement
-
Shoot a silhouette of something. You want the majority of the scene to be blown out and your subject silhouetted.
-
Take your second photo. This photo will be filling in the silhouette for the most part. Maybe, photograph a fire, flowers, etc. Whatever triggers your 'muse'.
-
Make your double exposure. Quite a few cameras will do that, or there could be a hack for you to do it.Advertisement
