Multiple Me

Assignment #3: Multiple Me or Multiple Places

For this project you will create 2 images that composite different (multiple) photographs together.

It's very similar to the "Levitation" images we made using PS layers. 

• TIP: When you're shooting, be sure to set your camera exposure and focus to manual. And DO NOT move your camera! 

You want your two final photographs to be connected visually and thematically. 

• TIP: Be thoughtful about the content – what ideas are you addressing? How does the composited image facilitate these ideas? Is the work narrative-based – do you want to tell a story? Are you interested in blurring the boundaries between fantasy and reality? Etc.

We'll all do several in class, then you will do two more on your own. One of them should use you as the subject.

Assignment:
You will post your 2 photographs to your blog and bring in your 2 photographs to project in class for critique.

DUE: October 25

Think combination or montaged images are only a recent development from the advent of Photoshop?

Oscar Gustave Rejlander's allegorical tableaux The Two Ways of Life consisted of over 32 negatives. 1857
