THISWEEK’S PHOTO CHALLENGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE
Photo credits: Sierra Sullivan, Daisha Martin, Camper Ruybal, Keirstyn Obermiller,Francisco Lizama on the ones with a white background .
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.

This Week’s Photo Challenge: Dreams
For your next assignment, you will interpret dreams in two different photos. Make sure you have two different ideas in your images. You will be graded on your use of photoshop to create a surreal or dreamlike look to your photos.
The famous psychologist Carl Jung came up with a few archetypes for dreams, images that surfaced over and over again in people’s dreams.
Jung’s Archetypes:
The Trickster – think Loki, wizards, someone who cannot be trusted.
Anima/Animus – How Males and Females relate to the opposite sex, operates on a spectrum.
The Shadow – the below diagram shows the relationship with a human, their outer and their shadow, inner selves.
Warm Up on Goldman’s Dream Series
Above is the link that photographer Ronen Goldman gave himself the challenge of photographing his dreams. Which makes for the best example of this assignment.
Using photoshop to create special effects is the main focus of this assignment. Composite photography combines multiple images into one image. Where you have one photograph that is the stage and other pieces that are combined from other images.
Could include: Levitation
First Photo is due on Thursday, 5/10, and the 2nd due on Monday, 5/14.
