I’m not sure what to call this type of photographic editing, but I’m going to call it ‘Multiplicity’. So far I’ve done about three of these composites and I really enjoy it. There definitely has to be a pre-conceptualization of the final piece before starting. Right before I took the multiplicity photo below, I was actually on my way to go take a few photos in a hay field; but when I saw the stack of 134 hay bails that I had piled up the day beforehand; I thought to myself what a help it would have been to have some people assisting me – then it struck me…. This would make a good photo!
This is an eight photo composite. One photo per person plus a background photo. The tough part about editing this photo was the tarp that kept blowing in the wind. I really had to look closely when editing to make sure I blended the photos together smoothly. If you have an idea for a multiplicity photoshoot, please contact me so we can work together.
