For this shoot I had to make sure that I had many different aspect set up. I had to ensure that the camera I was using had the multiple exposure feature set up, in order to actually get the multiple exposure images straight away. I also had to make sure that the studio was set up appropriately for the photos that I would be taking in the studio. This was a lot harder than expected. I also had to make sure that I knew how to correctly change the exposure for the different types of lighting that I would be using.
What I Hope To Achieve
I hope that through using this multiple exposure technique and the idea of close-up, I will be able to get some unique and interesting looking images. I'm not 100% on how I'm going to do the actual photoshoot yet, it's going to be more of an experimental shoot to understand the lighting set up and the placement of the different images, overlapping one another.
I would like to try and create an image similar to this, with the outline of the hand being the main part of the image. I think that this type of close-up using multiple exposure is really effective and it makes the overall look of the image look a lot more intriguing and interesting. I'm not quite sure however, I would get the lighting right in order to get a photograph like this one.
This is another example of a close-up using multiple exposure. The hand is obviously the main close-up aspect of the image and I think the simplicity of the background image, adds to the effect that this image gives off. I like that the individual flowers are positioned on the fingers and how there is a twig going up the thumb. The way that this image has been positioned is highly effective and appealing.
What I Actually Achieved
I managed to get some interesting looking shots and I experimented a little with the type of shots that I could get, however I found it quite difficult to get a good image with the right lighting. It was hard to balance the exposure of the two different images and make them work together in an effective multiple exposure photograph. Even so, I managed to get some good photos that I am proud of.
This was my favourite shot that I got from this shoot. I decided to experiment with photos, keeping the shots just in the studio. My first attempt at creating a sort of back to back, two-head type of photo didn't work out very well because I positioned the noses too close to the centre of the images, so they overlapped too much. I then thought I would try again, positioning the two images close to the edges of the image, which is how I got this image that has worked out extremely well.
This was another one of my favourite shots. It was the only multiple exposure that I got with 3 photographs in the image, than 2. I like the way that the leaves are positioned over the eyes and also how the left eye is more vibrant than the right. The effect that this gives off, makes the attention automatically be drawn towards the eyes.
What I Am Going To Do Next
I am going to try and develop this shoot and get a better understanding of the lighting and exposure that I need to use. I might also attempt to create some multiple exposure photographs on photoshop, rather than doing them straight onto the camera. For my next shoot I am going to look at some form of natural objects and capture the patterns and textures of them.
