This shot of the two girlfriends Shona and Dané accentuates the color difference, yet with a symmetrical pose.

I recently tried a bit of the double-exposure effect. This works quite effectively when using two silhouette type images. I wanted to start out with this photo though:

That took a bit of photoshopping to invert. Then I took a smartphone shot I took while running of a tree near my home and put that on top. The basic idea is to have a regular background image (the head in this case) and overlay the other silhouette image above that and change the layer blending mode to ‘Screen’.

In practice, I used quite a bit of masking to get the effect constrained to the areas I wanted to. This is what I ended up with:

Thanks to Chanelle for posing in the original image!

Here is one from Dané from last Tuesday. Hope you like it.

I used my Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens for a change again. Although I like the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 better, it’s difficult to get high enough to get enough angle to fit most of the body in the shot. 😉

Another one from Eleonora, with a very hard spotlight close by. But she does take it very well.

indoor, spotlight

This one was shot a couple of weeks ago on the Savage floor drop, which does a nice job when hit with a spotlight. The model is Liesje.
