The Secret to Double Exposure Photography (Film or Digital)

Here's how to think about the different types of in-camera double exposures with DIGITAL photography or FILM photography!

Thanks for watching!

I have a double exposure idea, though, I'd have to figure out how to execute it. Imagine digging through your grandparents'' old slides. You find a slide of some street in some town or city. In my case, my grandmother had a lot of slides of the different "Main Streets" of different small towns she's lived in back in the 50s.

It would be cool to find these locations in the modern day and line the camera up with where the photo was originally taken. Use the slide to line everything up, then take the photo. Then use a macro lens to take a photo of the slide with a backlight behind it. I guess the tricky part would be keeping the slide lined up with the new photo taken.

Would be a neat comparison with a photo of the street as it is now with the ghost of how it was.

I haven’t felt the need to comment on a video in years, but gah dayum this is a great video, I wish all photography videos were like this, concise and to the point but elaborating on the details we need/want to know, and still very quippy and entertaining

You can do double exposure on any camera with one shutter click. You just have to play with shutter speeds and it's a gamble every time. Long exposure and close off lens in between frames. The subjects must be somewhat close so there isn't a ton of noise but I've found this way the most rewarding. I remember first experimenting with it when I got my first digital camera after shooting film double exposures prior and trying to apply it to my 5d way back in the day in camera. This way is definite chaos lol. Adjusting aperture within one shutter actuation and 2 different scenes. Tripod and quick steady hands recommended

Thank you for making me addicted to taking at least 3 double exposures on every roll of film😂. I've had some very amazing results from falling in love with the creative side of photography through double exposures!

This is more about the concept and idea about double exposure, I was hoping to see the HOW more. Like when you said, "They live in the shadows." that was a magical moment. I got it but I would have liked to see it in motion. And also have it done on digital because I would have to guess that the majority of your followers are in the digital world. But thanks for that ONE gem, "they live in the shadows." love you work pretty sick and double exposure looks like fun.

I love your chaos method. I always looked at them as a mistake but like how yo explain it. Thanks for your video!

Olympus has that function in the menu. First screen if I remember well. It's called multiple exposure and allows you to do it on the spot or to use any picture stored on the SD. I had decent results with it but nothing beats the excitement of film. 😊

Great video. As someone who has discovered double exposure photography, the sky really is the limit when it comes to being creative. I have a Fuji XT5 and will really give this a go. Many thanks.

Thanks! As you say, there is not much content really explaining about this. I loved your pics and you aproach to this technique. Please, consider explaining about the metering and exposing in double exposures. Second shot should be underexposed?, maybe both? neither? Thanks!

Hands down the most inspiring double exposures. I’ve worked with blending layers for years in photo and video but never created anything in camera. I am dying to get into this. Sadly I shoot sony! What would be a nice modern enough film camera? Something that doesnt produce a really old looks? Thanks again

I just had a delve into the menu settings on my Olympus cameras and discovered you can set an initial "overlay image". So with my cameras, I can create a double exposure with any existing raw image already on my memory card

I like your shots and storytelling. Thanks for some inspiration

hi! i'm curious if you've heard of people using the technique of taking a blank shot in-between shots with the lens cap still on, then removing cap for the second exposure? I hope that makes sense. I was wondering why one would do this, is it to reduce the chances of having white in photos, so shadows can be maintained for the second exposure to show up better? I always thought white destroyed any info on photos.

Double exposure on Canon R5 for example. I can pick any image on my SD card and use it as a base to stack on. Timeout limit or not, doesn't matter.
