Experiment:
I would like to explore the technique of double exposure for this project. In my 3
images I would like to explore different techniques of multiple exposures. My first
experiment I would like to combining two images, the first image I would like to
photograph my model and as I am using the theme of discovering emotions I would
also like to photograph a subject, which links in with their emotion for example fear I
would use a subject, which they are scared of. I would like to use the outline of my
model and use the image of the subject to be placed inside the outline. I will take my
photographs in my own time with my own camera however I will edit my photos
using Photoshop at college where I will use digital techniques to create a multiple
exposure effect.
Another experiment, which I would like to use, would be to take two images of my
model. The first one I would like them to just look very emotionless however on the
second image I would like them to be showing their emotion such as happiness,
sadness or angriness. I would then like to overlay both of the images, which will then
show my models impression and then their emotion combined into one image. I
would also experiment with making the images black and white as I think that this
would create a stronger image. My aim for this experiment is to represent how
people present their emotions to how they are actually feeling. To achieve this effect
I will be able to use my cameras settings by setting the camera to image overlay. I
will then take two images of my subject on the same background. Using this effect it
will then programme both images over each other. I will then save the image and
upload it into Photoshop. I will then be able to adjust the image and change the
brightness contrast and opacity of the image.
I also have an idea of going outside and taking images of lots of different images of
different subjects such as flowers, plants, trees, cars and buildings. I will also
photograph different headshots of people. After I have a wide range of subjects to
choose from I will match up the subjects with the headshots until I find two
combinations which go well together.
