THISWEEK’S PHOTO CHALLENGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE

Photo credits: Sierra Sullivan, Daisha Martin, Camper Ruybal, Keirstyn Obermiller,Francisco Lizama.

For this week’s photo challenge, you will take two pictures that have something to say about the other. See above. Notice how the architecture could represent the beauty that is inside of her mind, or possibly of her upbringing, or her culture, or possibly all three.

Use the tutorial, I showed, here, for specific instructions on how you want to make this happen in Photoshop.

DO A BIT OF PRE-PLANNING! Don’t just throw two random images together, the results just won’t be as good.

Have something to say about the person you are double exposing with another object/person. Do it for a reason. Everything has a reason, everything has a purpose.

After viewing the photos contained in the link above, answer the following questions using complete sentences.

What was Octavious trying to say with this image? What made him make the image? How can art be a reaction to something that is happening on a national, political level? Have you ever used art to make a political statement? What do you believe strongly enough in that would create a piece of art as a reaction to something outside of yourself?
