Barbican Shoot

Section 1: Introduction 

Through the combination of three separate photoshoots I wanted to explore and learn how to create multiple exposure images in camera using techniques and methods developed of film cameras. Inspired by the digital images of Burnham Arlidge I wanted to see if I could create a similar feeling to my images without resorting to massive multi layer photoshop processing which in my opinion is more associated with collage and graphic creation than it is to do with photography.

I wanted to experiment with the capture of both still and moving subjects within the multi exposure and each of the three shoots identified the need for different techniques and methods to capture a successful image.

 

Section 2: Objectives

The objectives of this shoot was to use what was learnt and discovered through experimentation in the two shoots prior and combine what I’ve learnt in order to come out with a better product at the end of it.  

 

Section 3: Methodology (Materials & Methods)

Having researched the calculation of multiple exposure settings as used for the production of large format film cameras I was able to explore the two main methods of multiple exposure image creation . One of these simply exposes the same frame multiple times at a level that would normally be used for a single frame capture the other was more involved and required the calculation of exposure levels that when combined would render the background environment or a single character within that environment in a way that gave emphasis to one part of the image while the other exposures combined to build a series of ghosted layers.

Section 5: Critique

Need to learn to count as there were times when I turned the camera too early because i miscounted the number of exposures i had already taken.
