Multimedia photography combines photography with other media like paint, video, or print. It can be done either electronically using computers, or by hand through techniques like collage, sewing into photos, or drawing on photos. Artists have also combined photos into films, gifs, or added music in exhibitions. The Harris shutter technique uses color filters to capture moving subjects in different colors on film. Now the effect can be recreated digitally in Photoshop. Multiple exposure photography layers two or more images together, traditionally on film but now easily in Photoshop, to create a textured composite image.

2. Multimedia Photography
Multimedia photography is where an artist takes their photography, but
combines it with other kinds of media, hence multimedia. Their
photography can be combined with a number of different kinds of
media, from print based to electronic, like paint or videos. There are two
different ways to combine photography and other media together, this is
electronically or by hand, also both can be combined. If an artist were to
combine their photography with another media by hand they could use
other photographs, to make a collage, they could also use thread by
sewing into the photographs, painting or drawing on to photographs,
sticking things on to the photographs like fabrics and text. Photographers
who have used these techniques are Maurizio Anzeri, Annegret Soltau
and David Cata. Another way artists can create multimedia photography
is by using electronic media, with computers. Artists can include their
photography into film or make their photos into film, like a stop motion
film made with their photos. Their photos can also be created into gifs,
which are images that continually repeat a pattern of switching around.
Music can also be added with photos when shown in an exhibition and
this would also be classed as multimedia as the music is changing the
perspective of the images and how the are perceived. These photos can
also be displayed in different ways, like on canvas, printed on a wall,
framed, block mounted or projected on to a wall. Media done by hand
and media done on the computer can also be combined by scanning the
hand made piece into the computer makes it available to change on the
computer.

3. Harris Shutter Photography
The Harris Shutter photography was originally created in film cameras, by
using a strip device with 3 different colour filters invented by Robert
Harris. The different colours appear on the finished picture because of
how the light is exposed on the film, the shutter is open for a long time so
when the different colour filters are put through the lens at different
times and the things that are moving are captured in the different
colours, then the parts of the photo that have stayed still during the
shutter being open will be displayed in normal colour, so on the finished
image you get different colours of the moving subject matters, depending
on the subject matter the colours can come out quite differently e.g.
when water or clouds have been taken as a picture with Harris shutter the
colours are more subtle and closer together. Traditionally this is done with
a film camera, but now technology has advanced and it is possible to
create a Harris shutter effect on photoshop using a digital camera and not
using a long shutter speed, making this method more reliable. To create
the Harris shutter on photo shop what you have to do is get 3 pictures all
with the same background, but the subject matter will move into 3
different places. Then on photoshop you change the different layers to
the green, purple and red, the opacity would also have to be changed so
the layers look like they have been captured in the moment, and to also
make it look more authentic and close to the real Harris shutter.

4. Multiple Exposure Photography
Multiple exposure photography is where two or more images are
taken and layered over each other to create one layered image.
Traditionally double or multiple exposures were first created on
film, where the photographer would have already taken one
image, which that piece of film is already used, but then they use
it again a second time to take another image, so there is
essentially 2 images on one piece of film creating a textured and
layered single image. Usually photographers would chose one
subject matter as an object or a scene then the subject matter
for the second exposure would be an added person to create a
ghostly like feel to the image. Now technology has advanced a
great deal and you can now create double exposures on
photoshop using layers and opacity images can be layered on top
of each other with speed and ease, photos can also be cut out
into shapes to edit the photo even further to give it texture and a
different feeling.
