Week 7 : Double Exposure
Double exposure photography refers to merging multiple images. The goal is to make them surreal, emotional, or humorous. They usually feature silhouettes.
There are some different examples of double exposure

We need to capture a portrait-mode photograph ourselves and then perform the same actions outlined in part 1 of the exercise. The background images can be collected online and all the images have to be high resolution. Therefore, import all images to Photoshop and convert to black & white / monochrome.
I have taken the portrait-mode photograph of myself and choose some images online for this exercise.
