Multiple exposure- Technique post

Definition- In photography and cinematography, a multiple exposureis the superimposition of two or more exposures to create a single image, and double exposure has a corresponding meaning in respect of two images. The exposure values may or may not be identical to each other.

This image appeals to me due to the way that it carries connotations of youth and rebellion in keeping with Ann Gould's theory of youth having six key attributes Nihilism, Rebellious nature, Sexual desires, Self destructive behaviour, Drug interest and an Artificial tribe mentality.  This sense of rebellion and drug interest are encapsulated in the use of cigarettes in the image.

Camera settings

Aperture: F5.6 (in order to produce a shallow depth of field and direct focus upon the images subject).

Shutter speed: 1/125 (a slow shutter speed should be used in order to capture the subject movement).

ISO: 200 (a low ISO should be used in order to create a crisp image whilst ISO 200 is a good setting to use in the studio).

Lighting 

-Model light (a light source must be used in order to create light trails).

-Natural lighting.

Equipment

-Tripod (in order to reduce camera shake).

-Nikon D5300, standard lens (no specialist lens was required).
