I experimented with layering of photographs on photoshop as I liked the multiple layered effect of having lots of faces overlapping one another, each coming in from different angles. I liked the connection that was created from this, even though they are duplicated versions, because it shows hoe the subject is brought back together and unified.
For this photo I experimented further with different layers, which created different versions of the same subject, then seeing how this blended together and overlapped one another.
This was my final outcome, I duplicated the subject multiple times and then rearranged them, and adjusted them so that they formed a connection in the way that they are brought together.
To create this style I copied only the subject. This meant I could overlap this more easily as it would be presented more clearer as it instantly stand out from the original background. I found this concept interesting as I could duplicate only the subject which created a whole new image meaning that the background wouldn’t be distracting.
For these edits I experimented with layering images together, however I used the same image but reversed them the blended them together so that they fitted together. I liked the mirrored effect as it creates this interesting effect as subject is reflected in the opposite way.
For this image I mirror imaged the duplicated image, but brought the image on the right forward which meant leaving the left image create a ‘shadow’ in the background. I achieved this by increasing the exposure and brightness of the image which increased the contrast that resulted in the main subject
