Multiple Exposure Image Bank

This image is really intriguing because the landscape image doesn't take up place in her whole face- its blended out so her head slowly fades into trees and telephone lines. This is a really interesting approach to this technique because the way we were shown in the beginning of the lesson, was to make the whole face in a landscape- although I prefer this effect because personally it looks more aesthetically pleasing because it's a if this subject feels like she is slowly fading into the background.  

Much like the image above, this photographer has also take a similar approach by making the face of the subject dominate but as the body progresses, the street landscape becomes easier to see. There is slight irony in this image due to the punctum which is the flower crown. This is because a flower crown suggests someone "at one with nature", however, her body is over taken by buildings and a man made settings- showing what has destroyed nature. 

This image is really beautiful because of the smooth edges on this portrait. You can see the pose of the subject really clearly and the landscape doesn't make the subject "disappear". To get the effect, I think the photographer would have use photoshop and then use the "history rubber" around the face and body to form this effect. The way this is black and white is really interesting as well because if it was in colour, the subject may have been wiped out and not as clear. 

This is also a different approach to this technique because the majority of the work I found was either face on are side portraits of a subject, here the photographer has used the back of her head. This photographer has also made it really interesting because the landscape in fitted around her hair and then back- you can see where the hair line stops and then the trees on her shoulders act as clothes. 

The aspect of this image is really interesting because its almost a battle within the subjects body. The battle of nature vs. buildings. This could be symbolic of the subjects battling within himself. This is really intriguing because with just trees it would have worked, and it would have worked with just buildings although as this photographer has chosen to combine the two, it makes it a really intriguing image to look at.  

Finally, due to the photographer positioning the building roof in the center of the subjects head, it makes it symbolic. As the birds appear to be flying out of her head, it's as if she it s at her own freedom- she has reached her calming point and feels a sense of serenity.
