Double exposure, a unique artistic style, combines pictures to create a single, mesmerizing piece. This artistic technique is kind of run-of-the-mill for a third-party vendor that offers state-of-the-art solutions. For instance, one can imagine this method being utilized to create flawless corporate display screens. Just imagine, one photo of the CEO, superimposed over another — perhaps a stellar meeting moment — and there you have it, a second to none digital masterpiece.

Now, let’s turn these fancy, designer terms into something a bit more tangible. Have you ever taken two photos of the same optical landscape? I mean, when mother nature put on her most breathtaking display and you decided to capture the moment with your rather outdated camera phone… Only to find that the phone couldn’t handle the complexity of the display? That’s essentially what double exposure photography is – two versions of the same landscape artistically overlapping each other. You know, think of a car’s silhouette against a breathtaking sunset. What you’ll have is a simple portrait, but what the artist did that set it apart from the norm was the interplay of the sunset’s light against the car’s body.

This type of art will often have as the backdrop, an ethereal realm which can be achieved through clever use of color, back-lighting, or smoke patterns. Take working smoke patterns into consideration, this type of artistic expression really transcends traditional means and so, in some cases, can represent a level of surrealism. It can make the subject stand out, like some kind of phantasmagoric character inhabiting a dream sequence, it’s the right sprinkling of artistic flare on a picture that turns it from normal to extraordinary.

In the end, it’s all about artistic expression and surpassing mundane visual experiences. If you’ve ever used a camera or a camcorder, you’ve already dipped your toe into this artistic action. So really, next time you’re ready to make your mark, consider double exposure style and let your artistic expression flourish.
