Fashion Multiple Exposure - Image Bank

After creating an image bank purely on multiple exposure, I decided to look at multiple exposure in my chosen project of beauty. I couldn't find many images on beauty, so I started to look at beauty in the fashion industry and look at how photographers show beauty in the form of multiple exposures. The first image I found was one from the front cover of a magazine in which this technique is used in the two front cover designs. The second design stands out to me more as the photographer has cleverly used the eye of the portrait and have placed it onto the centre of the other females dress. I think this is a very clever image and would definitely stand out on the front cover of the magazine as it shows different dimensions. Instead of just seeing the portrait image, we can see the female in her full form with the use of a long shot. This enables the viewer to see the rest of the dress and her whole body. This is a unique way of using one frame, and placing two images inside it by blending the two together. They have ensure the opacity is perfect so that we can still see the facial features of the female. The other images in this bank use colour and are much darker, by also combining techniques of a motion blur.

Multiple Flash - Image Bank

Multiple Flash is achieved by placing the camera on a long exposure and altering the flash so that it goes off several times at the press of the shutter once. This is done to achieve the following images below; due to it needing the flash, it is essential that the images are taken amongst a dark background and therefore shadows are often present. In the first image, it shows a picture of a female overlapping in the same position. Due to the intriguing way that the images are almost identical, it can be said that this image was photoshopped with the same image and then placed over one another at a lower opacity. 

In the next two images, you can see dancers who are doing different stances among a black background. You can see the dancer on the left of the image posing for the camera, and following it you can see her moving and the transition between her in the two sides of the image. In the image below that, the dancer is seen running, the transition is less than the previous one as we see the path in which the dancer followed and the blurring between each stance. Similarly, in the images below, we see someone chopping up and the way that the knife is shown in each flash before it hits the food. The transition style of these is most common in the final image where we see the deck of cards and the magician who is doing a card trick. The bold red and black colours make it stand out that he is doing a card trick, therefore it is not blurred enough so that it is not obvious.
