MULTIPLE ME

What is the purpose behind your piece other than just putting yourself in a picture multiple times.

Did you want to show your athletic ability, future career or multiple personalities?

You may wear different outfits or just change hats, it is up to you.

It is IMPERATIVE that each image stays perfectly still for a smooth transition.

HOW TO:

• Set up your composition.

• Take multiple photos of the same setup manipulating the space by capturing yourself or your subject in the foreground, middle-ground and background.

• Download images to "multiple me" on your jump drive

• Upload all viable images from the same composition to Photoshop

• Decide on the background with the least distractions. This will be the image you will work on and create a background copy.

• Select one of our series, select all, move the image to your background.

  • Complete the move by deselecting.

  • Create a layer mask

  • Change the opacity to 60% so you can see your subject beneath.

  • Use your paint brush to reveal your subject beneath (MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON THE LAYER MASK)

  • Take the opacity back to 100%

• Repeat for each layer until complete

• Be aware of tint and shade differences. We don't want to see the differences in the final piece.

• Save as a .psd as

  • "LAST NAME MULTIPLE ME"

  • In your multiple me folder

• Make sure you see shadows under foot, next to a cabinet. It should look real
