2. Lecture

Mr. Fauzi taught us about double exposure and image blending mode. 

Double exposure photography refers to merging multiple images. The goal is to make them surreal, emotional, or humorous. They usually feature silhouettes.

There are 8 double exposures technique that were mentioned in Mr. Fauzi lecture.

1. Using the Tilt Shift Effect

2. Create Fake Reflection

3. Experiment with simple portraits and detailed textured

4. Convert your results to Black and White

5. Work with silhouette

6. Pick two random photos

7. Make simple object look fascinating

8. Use shadow

A particular blending mode works really well on more difficult subjects like glass, smoke, fire and lightning.
