Analogue Double Exposure

I have decided to try out double exposure using an analogue camera. Most of the images turned out looking very well however some didn't turn out as well, and this was because the photos didn't line up properly. Most of the images are kept in its original size with other frames that aren't lined up overlaying it and then they are shown in cropped in the best way possible. 

In my opinion, some of the original ones without cropping look very well because it gives a raw look. They are flawed, but the flaws make it look unique and make it truly seem like they were taken using an analogue camera.

Amy Friend - WIP

Here I have the scanned family photo placed into photoshop ready to crop.

Here I have the cropped image to the right size with the colours corrected to make it look as similar to the artist's photo as possible.



I will be choosing the right crop to fit the size and layout of the woman on the artist's photograph.

I then applied the Sepia effect to my photo to make it look more contemporary and so that it fits closely to the colours of the artist\s photo.

I have added a layer of a dark brown colour to imitate the colour of the woman's hair in the original photo.

Here I have faded the colours making the hair a slightly darker colour.



This is the printed out and edited photo with all the holes poked in using a craft knife ready to shine the light through and ready to shoot.

Here I have picked the best photo from the series ready to edit.

Here I am cropping the photo to remove the useless background.

I have tweaked the colours to make it fit to the original artist's photo because the camera settings played up with the colours and the tones.

For the last step, I decided to edit in the makeup of the woman in the portrait of the original photo.
