Craft: The Craft of this assignment is the following: Digital SLR Camera (Canon E05 Rebel T5i), phone camera, a computer and Adobe Photoshop. The majority of the work was done with the camera with minimal post-processing done in Adobe Photoshop to accommodate over-exposure, color correction, and cropping the image to get the best composition and image. After that, different layers and layer filters were used to create a double-exposure in which the two images overlapped one another.
Composition: During class, we were tasked with taking photographs and manipulating them to appear as a double exposure. First, I edit the images to have as best quality as I can. This includes checking for over-exposure, over or undersaturation, checking the levels and curves, and adjusting the camera raw file as a whole to get the best quality image. I then cropped the image to achieve the best composition. After that, I overlayed the second image, manipulating the levels and curves to get the proper contrast with both. Deleting the backgrounds on certain images and erasing the overlay over other parts, I was able to come up with the interesting overlays I have.
Concept: In this project, we were tasked with creating five images that revolved around the concept of double-exposure. What I took chose as an idea was the creation of new landscapes in which a secondary image, usually a scenery with a physical object of focus was overlayed as a multiply layer that symbolizes an alternative of the landscape below it. For example, the river image has a photo of a beaver dam above it, indicating a relationship between the two. The life of the beavers depends on that stream and the stream's form, in turn, relies on the beavers being or not being there. I used the general concept of double-exposure to convey a sense of duality for each piece I photographed.
