A Double Exposure creates a surreal feeling with two photographs that work well together to convey deep meaning or symbolism.
Self Portrait- Double Exposure
For this assignment you will need to take a photo of yourself with minimal background noise. A neutral background or one that can easily be removed is the best. Once your selfie is done you will need to take a photo of a place or an object that means a lot to you because this is your last visual ethnography. The juxtaposition of the two images needs to be epic. The 2 images put together need to make me see who you are. You will still need to write an Artist Statement as you will be comparing this new Selfie with your Selfie you did in the beginning of the trimester. You will also be adding a quote onto your image. Your new Selfie should be better and visually more powerful than your Selfie from the beginning of the trimester.
For this assignment you will need:
A new selfie
A second image of an environment or place
A quote
A font downloaded from dafont.com
The quote is on you Double exposure with the new font learned in 10 Rules
An artist statement that compares and contrast your Selfie with your Double Exposure
For this assignment, you will post the following to your weebly portfolio:
Double Exposure with quote
Compare and Contrast Artist Statement
Before I take you through the process I will give you examples of the what two images can become with the process of Double Exposure.
For inspiration you have a worksheet Double Exposure Worksheet that will expose you to many photographers that use Double Exposures in their artwork. For this part of the assignment you will need to follow the two links and answer the ten questions. The first article is Photofocus' 26 Most Creative Double Exposure Photographs and the second article is Layers Magazine's 10 Photographers Creating Enigmatic Works with Double Exposures.
You will also need to choose a new font from dafont.com. Download and Install. You will use this font for your quote on your Double Exposure. If you cannot see the text it is because the layer the text is on needs to be above the image.
Just in case you would like a different way to create a Double Exposure from the demo in class and the handout, the videos below will provide the same results but be careful because it can be confusing because it uses channels. Check out the the following link for another perspective which is text based: How To Create a Double Exposure Effect in Photoshop.
