Multiple Exposure

In photography, a multiple exposure is the superimposition of two or more exposures to create a single image. A multiple exposure can create the illusion of movement in a photo (like this one). In this photo, I used photoshop to combine seven different pictures into one. To create this image, I decided to experiment with motion and how the blur would affect the complete picture. I ended up agreeing that a series of still images would result in a better-finished product. To experiment, I changed the shutter speed and aperture various times, but in the end, I successfully achieved this by using the continuous shutter setting on my camera. This setting helped, because getting seven still photographs while the subject was moving was difficult as it was a cloudy day. Luckily photoshop helped me perfect this!
For the subject of this image, I decided to create a photo of something I know very well. Considering I am a cheerleader, I chose upon a cartwheel! This photo represents my fun and playful side. Cora (in this photo) is such a happy-go-luck person, so she represented this well!
