Two Heads are Better Than One- Straight images

This image was created using multiple flash in the studio against a black background with two soft boxes.  The effect was created by triggering the flash whilst the subject was in one position and then triggering the flash after she had moved into the secondary position.  In order to capture this change of movement a 6" exposure was used which means that a tripod was used to create a steady shot.  The images saturation was then lowered in photoshop in order to give it a more surreal and washed out appearance whilst the clone stamp was used on the subjects neck in order to create a cleaner blend between both poses.

This image uses the same techniques as the previous image however features both myself and another subject meaning that after the 6" exposure had been set up and the flash had been triggered the subject had to move out of frame and I had to step into frame and onto a pre-set marker in order to get the framing accurate.  Someone else had to trigger the flash as I could not reach the light from my position.  The saturation was again lowered in photoshop and curves were used to alter the colourisation of the image in a more complex way.

The same techniques were used in this image as the images above as the subject was required to change positioning once in order to create the twin effect with the same editing techniques also being used.  The twin effect bears similarity to the appearance of the twins in the popular horror film "The Shinning" and serves to unnerve the viewer.

This image was also a 6" exposure however more flashes were implanted in order to create the chaotic appearance of the subjects face.  This image creates imagery associated with mental distress and possible questions about identity as the subjects face has been blurred.  The same editing techniques were used in this image as in the image prior.

This image features 3 poses with the subjects head turned both left and right and then facing forwards.  Due to the overplayed shots of the subjects hair an orange effect was formed in the images centre this required selective colour alteration using the quick select wand, reduced saturation and curve manipulation to counteract and allow the image to maintain its low saturation appearance.
