Double exposure, a creative photography technique, has become a popular and artistic form among photographers. This style combines two or more images into a single picture for a unique impact. In this example, the double exposure style is applied to a stock photo where a person’s silhouette is depicted on a rocky mountain. Adding a layer of wonder to this image is the incorporation of a celestial being — a mythical face formed by stars, against a mesmerizing gradient backdrop that features bright rainbow colors, ethereal smokes, smoke trails, and a teeming array of neon lights.

The masterpiece optical illusion-creating image is the work of a talented trio: Andreas Lie, Bojan Jevtic, and Ashley Wood. These artists’ extraordinary artistic skills contribute to the unparalleled versatility of the image. Using the unique double exposure technique, they combine vivid, intricate details of carnival-like activities with the celestial aura generated by starry skies and wisps of smoke, enhancing the ethereal realm effect.

The result is a mesmerizing piece of poster painting, photography illustration and cinematic art, made more striking with artful typography and graffiti.
