Double Exposed Portraits

Portrait Photography is a picture of a person or two and the picture expresses the person's feelings, mood, and personality. The main focus is the person's face, the body and background may be concluded with the image. Portrait Photography could relate to a profile view and silhouette because they do something with the person's face. Profile is an outline of the person's image and silhouette is an image of a person or an animal that is black and outlined black which make the whole image black. We will use the outline of our face and blend in pictures within our faces to make it look amazing.

Double exposures are created in Photoshop by following these steps. Step 1-9, this will help you learn how to make a double exposure image in Photoshop. To get your images in Photoshop you have to go to: File>Script>Load Files Into Stacks>Browse>Take your three images>Start. If you are a person that likes photos that are blended into each other then you'll want a double exposure image. It combines 2 images that symbolizes you and the side of your face, and from there your going to blend them together to make a double exposure image.


My symbols are parts of nature, this represents me because I love nature. I have a flower and a t-leaf flower. It's very unique and there's a lot of things to explore, and that's what symbolizes me. My quality could improve if I would've took a picture of the sunset or something like that about the sky. Although, there's only a few things I can take a picture of around my house, so it's limited. Also, I would've improved if my portrait picture shows more of my face and not that much of my hair, because my hair takes up three fourths of he space on my face. That's it for now, and keep in touch because we have more blogs to post.

HDR Photography

HDR Photography is drawing with light, HDR Photography is used for taking pictures and you can take more than 3 pictures in different exposure levels. What I dislike HDR Photography is that you take a long time to adjust the exposure because of where the buttons are at. What I love about HDR Photography is that we can make a picture that we created and edited by our own.

If you want to know how to make an HDR image you need at least 7 images in different exposure levels. Then you have to go to Photoshop and go to File>Automate>Merge to HDR Pro>Browse then you pick your 7 photos that you took and start compiling them to make a realistic image using all 7 photos. I will guess about this, but I think that HDR is different from automatic HDR because your the one who's taking the picture and its not going to do it for you.

For my HDR landscape and experiment, the thoughts that went to it is, it needs to be surrealistic and it has to meet the expectations. I never worked so hard on a project like this one, we had to have 7 photos in different exposure levels, for landscape we had to get the sky and the foreground which was a struggle for me. When I was going through the process on making my HDR photo, I went through a lot of complicating things like how to put the levels in the right space, and that's it for now I hope I helped you guys on how to make an HDR image.
