Multiple Flash Work Diary

In this shoot we shot the technique of multiple flash which involved us holding the flash button which is direct to the studio light and takings pictures with the subject keep moving, to produce more than one image in one photo, much like multiple exposure. In enjoyed this and I think it is a very good technique for the studio however if you want the subject to stay in one place and only move one part of it, it becomes very difficult as the subject (or the model) can't help but move a little bit, which will become evident within the photograph.

In this image I got Addy to stand in 3 different positions pulling 3 different faces, suggesting 3 different people, even though it is evident she is that same person. In this picture I turned the saturation down due to the last image fading slightly, even though I would prefer if it was not there, each image gets fainter and fainter as it moves to the right, suggesting a ghostly effect, which is kind of intriguing.





In the image below I got Addy to stand in the same place however to close her hands and move them down slightly each time I said 'go' (indicating that I was going to take a picture). I like the idea of this and the hand part as to me it signifies the hindu god of vishnu and I think it is amazing that you can produce something like this digitally. However, as mentioned at the beginning of this work diary, it is very hard to keep a subject in one place and move the other parts, her head seems like I have duplicated the layer and kept dragging it down slightly in workshop, which is not the case. Despite that small factor, I really like this photograph.
