Week 7 

This week, we learned about Double Exposure and Image Blending Mode in Photoshop. These two effects are to create images that are unlogical, surreal and emotional. 

DOUBLE EXPOSURE 

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

Photoshop has a great tilt-shift tool that will transform your photos into soft works of art.(blur one of your photos instead of the entire image)

2. Create fake reflection

One of them is creating a double-exposure with the help of a separate window photo.

3. Experiment with simple portraits and  details textured

4. Convert your results to Black & White

It gives them a unique depth and allows you to experiment with something interesting just like  film photography.

5. Work with silhouette

6. Pick two random photo

7. Make simple objects look fascinating

8. Use Shadow

PHOTOSHOP : Blend Modes

Working with blend modes is almost always an experimental process. Because it’s nearly impossible to predict the results, you always seem to end up experimenting with different modes and Fill Opacities until you get the results you’re looking for.

WEEK7

I followed the double-exposure tutorial through my first exercise, and I found that Photoshop didn't seem as difficult as I thought if I had enough concentration to follow the video.
