Double Exposures

Contact sheet of double exposures

I created these double exposures by putting a 35mm film through the camera twice; I marked the film in hopes that they would align but they didn't, which created an interesting effect anyway.  I think these images are interesting and I plan to enlarge several of them, however this was really just an experiment.  I think using film is far too experimental and unreliable so I plan to create a series of double exposures digitally using photoshop.

I created this image by moving the paper twice while exposing from my large format film.  I wanted this image to be confusing and the gender of the subject to be unidentifiable, which I feel I have done rather successfully.

These were my most successful images from the first two weeks of the photography workshop in which we exposed, developed and enlarged images from 35mm film.

I cancelled my photography workshop and instead had an induction to the darkroom so that I could create a series of photograms.  I felt that the use of black and white in extreme contrast would emphasise the sinister feel of the dark subject matter.  I think these two images in particular are quite striking due to their simplistic nature and composition.
