WEEK 12: LECTURE

Figure 1.1: Week 12's class session

    In this week's class session, we started off with a very quick lecture session on the lecture on week 12 (double exposure). 

Week 12's Lecture

    Double exposure is done by merging multiple images and making them surreal, emotional, or humourous. It may look complicated at first, but it is easy to be created in-camera and in Adobe. 

Figure 2.1: Sample of double exposure photography

Figure 2.2: Sample of double exposure using tilt-shift effect

    This effect is done by only blurring one of the photos instead of the entire image. If more pictures were used, we can blur everything and remain only one layer/element as the main focus. 

Figure 2.3: Sample of double exposure using 'fake reflection' effect

    To create a reflection effect without using actual props. we can overlay layers of glass or reflective surfaces to create a reflection effect on the entire composition. In the figure above, we can also see the 'fake bokeh' effect.

    Even if we combine something complicated with something simple, we can achieve a good result with a very good balance. It may also save a lot of simple photos that you might discard.

    Sometimes, we get to demonstrate emotions with the lack of colours. This can give us the effect just like film photography. 

Figure 2.6: Sample of double exposure with silhouette

    Working with silhouettes is quite interesting because it is quite different. So, it can give us a fun and doable challenge and to demonstrate the creative side of ourselves.
