I may fade from this world,
I may be far from home,
Remember me in flowers,
Under trees where I have roamed.
I find it hard to feel a connection with abstract work. But it is pretty fun to experiment with multiple exposures when it comes to abstract photography. I find more meaning that way. This set of pictures is heavily influenced by Sara Byrne.
The original four black and white images I intended to use for this post before I decided to do a composite.
You’ll agree that the composite is more interesting right? I thought the colour versions of the double exposures were quite interesting by themselves but stripped of colour, some of them do need the composite to give it extra oomph!
All colour versions may be found on Instagram. :) Or click on the images above to see their corresponding colour version.

Ahh, love all of them for black & white as well as color version. May I ask you what app or program did you use to create that kind of multi-exposure? I use Hipstamatic but I still don’t get the expected result. Thanks :)

Sure you can :) I’m using Blendcam. I use “balance” or “original brightness” superimposed method to layer most often, keep layering until happy. May continue to use other apps to apply vignette or other effects after that to create the final image.
Oh, the main thing I guess is one of your images should have a black or dark colour shape (e.g. Donna) against a white/light background… so that the shape shows up will against the other patterned/busy/colourful layer. Hope that helps! ;)

Thank you for your suggestion. I look for Blendcam from your URL and it’s free. Yeah, will try it for sure. :)
