LEARN TO SHOOT AND CREATE DOUBLE EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPHS IN PHOTOSHOP

Spend more time taking pictures and less time editing them. In this course, you will learn how to create Double Exposures the right way: Fast, Easy, and Satisfying.

Most of the courses out there are teaching the method that is relying on masking, which is very time consuming. In this course, you will learn the authentic method, which is easier, faster, and produces natural looking results.

WHAT IS DOUBLE EXPOSURE:

Double Exposure photographs are created when two or more photographs/exposures are combined into one. Fine art pieces have been created using this technique. They’re also called Multi Exposure Photographs. This method originates in the age of film photography when artists were exposing the film twice to achieve similar results. Nowadays we have more control over the process because of digital tools. Thus the technique got its second life and modern artists are pushing it to another level of expression.

Even if you haven’t heard this name before, you’ve most likely seen the eye-catching images on book covers, advertising, billboards, and online.

Join me to learn the simple photo manipulation trick that takes no time, and you too will be able to produce those artworks.
