What is Double Exposure Photography?

Double exposure photography refers to merging multiple images. The goal is to make them surreal, emotional, or humorous. They usually feature silhouettes.



1. Using the Tilt-Shift Effect
Filter > Blur Gallery > Tilt-Shift.

2. Create fake reflection

3. Experiment with simple portraits and details textured
Combining something plain with something complicated will give you a balanced result.

4. Convert your results to Black & White
A lack of colour will strengthen the emotions in your double-exposure images.

5. Work with silhouette

6. Pick two random photo
A random process doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful. Try and forget about any other double-exposure ideas. Shoot interesting textures, shapes and forms instead.

7. Make simple objects look fascinating
A silhouette of a dull-looking building could become the outline of a starry sky like the photo below.

8. Use Shadow
Outlines of any kind are fantastic to work with for double-exposure photography. Shadows are as effective as silhouettes in this genre.

4.Reflection

Double exposure works can really show the imagination of the works, combining different beauties together to form a complete work. I think people can always be the best protagonists in works, because no matter it is just a shadow, eyes or movements, they can express a lot of information or emotional atmosphere.
