Double Exposure is the process of laying over two or more images to create a single image. The exposure values may or may not be identical to each other, Double Exposures work better with a silhouette and a colourful background image.
Inorder to make a Double Exposure, I selected two images- one being a silhouette and one being a background. I chose an Alice in Wonderland silhouette and a Galaxy print background. I had to open both images in Photoshop, then on one of the images select (Ctrl+A) then copy (Ctrl+C) then paste (Ctrl+V) onto the other image, so they made one tab and one was on top of the other. I then deleted the tab with one image on it. I then made the locked layer, unlocked by double clicking on it and pressing ok. Then I cropped the larger image, so the larger image became the same size as the smaller one. Then I started experimenting with the different effects and opacity. The images in the slideshow are my favourite effects.

Existing Images That I Like:
A famous artist who creates Double Exposure images is Andre De Freitas. He mainly creates black and white images of figures within nature and landscapes. I love his work because it is so simple, but it is so effective and nice to look at, at the same time. He received a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Animation. His images are the one to the left of this, and the 3 below. On his website, he says:
'' the concept of stillness captured my imagination, and I focused more on illustration. Instead of just drawing, I tried to imagine myself taking photos of my subjects. That way the illusion of stillness would be a little more believable, almost like a photograph. After that, my insertion into the world of photography was almost based on instinct ''
