Playing games with double exposures

[Chris Bennett]

I've been noodling around with double exposures as a diversion, of late. And I have been having great fun with it. Here are a few...

 

[Pete Askew]

What a fascinating and effective set, Chris. The star is clearly the last, bit I also really like the Ferrari / masked ladies shot and the the alleyway into the young lady's thoughts! And the match between the lips on the lady texting and the chimney of the oven!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Wonderful images, Chris. Very entertaining and engaging, with some many details to observe. Good photography.

 

[Chris Bennett]

Thank you both.
I really enjoy planning the way I hope it will come out. Once I worked out the different way that the highlights and the shadows react to the treatment, the whole exercise became much more fun and interesting.

This one was the first I took after I had worked out what's going on with highlights and shadows. For my first exposure, I stood right behind the gent and took a wide close-up of his patterned shirt, Next, I stood back a couple of metres and shot him again.

I tried to put the Ferrari into a skip and failed...



...but not everyone has put a skip into a Ferrari.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

True. But I know a guy called Skip who drives a Ferrari.



No, I don’t…

Moving from cars to bikes...

 

[Pete Askew]

The rocket-bike works well.

 

[Chris Bennett]

Ha, yes! I couldn't have aligned the two exposures more perfectly. Total fluke, though.

Using the guy with the palm trees on his shirt earlier gave me a idea, so I tried using fabrics and other things in shop displays to create interesting new worlds.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The first has a sci-fi quality, and a bit creepy. Not convinced by others, but that first one is excellent.

 

[Chris Bennett]

The first is actually one of my favourites of the whole bunch, Rob.

 

[Dave Farnes]

That is a wonderful set of images, they create a huge variety of feelings while viewing them.

I really like the Ferrari, has a punk feel to it, the film "Jubillee" came to mind as soon as I saw it.

 

[Chris Bennett]

Thanks Dave.
I have really enjoyed doing this, so it will continue.
