A student plans to photograph a willing participant using a double exposure technique. They will first take a picture of the person standing behind a blank white canvas, creating a silhouette. Then they will take a second picture of the person in front of the canvas, looking at where their silhouette was. The student intends to perform the double exposure and add black and white and noise effects in Photoshop since the college cameras lack multiple exposure settings.

1. Planning
Location:
York College
Equipment:
Date/Time:
DSLR 18-35mm
Experiment:
For my first experiment, I will be using the double exposure technique, and will be photographing a
willing participant whilst they are stood behind a blank white canvas – possibly holding a piece of
horror themed equipment - in hope their silhouette will appear clearly on my side. I will then take a
second picture of that same person, but in front of the blank white canvas, and looking directly at
where their silhouette was in the first image.
I will be shooting in a high ISO setting as to maximise sharpness in my photograph.
I will be performing the double exposure in Photoshop, as the cameras in college do not have the
multiple exposure setting. I will also be changing the colour scheme of the image whilst in Photoshop
to black and white. I will also be adding some noise to the image whilst performing post-production.
