Double Exposed

Eberhard Schuy from Loft 2 is back with another informative photo-tutorial. This time showing viewers how to create an intricate photo using the traditional double exposure technique.

The technique shown today is not to be confused with taking two exposures and composing them in post-production with photo-editing software like photoshop, but rather flashing twice in one long exposure. Working with glass can be tedious at times because one tends to want to render the objects 1:1. But Schuy shows FotoTV viewers step-by-step how to approach this task as if shooting a still life, which is more about creating a suggestion or an impression rather than a direct depiction of an object.

Schuy concentrates on delivering the most professional and highly stylized results. With easy and effective tricks and suggestions he is the Houdini of photography, because the way he creates high-end photography based on thorough knowledge is almost like magic. Practically any photographer who is dedicated and wants to achieve better looking photography can be shooting exceptional photos in a short period of time.The great advantage off using this traditional method of double exposure is being able to view and inspect the results immediately after shooting the shot, therefore allowing the option to make corrections manually. It also says a lot of a photographer who does not rely on photo-editing software to create his effects.
