Multiple Exposure? Bring it on!

Oh photoshop how you rock my world. These are the results of my multiple exposure photos using photoshop. I turned 2 pictures into black and white photos and then overlapped them. Enjoy!




This picture has a mysterious feel, which I find very intriguing. I spy 4 little eyes, can you find them?




By combining the fall and summer season, this is what I get. I like how one of my face is a weird smirk while the other is.....very....very....HAPPY.








Tada! This is probably my favorite picture out of all the multiple exposure I have done. I actually overlapped this picture with the above fall picture. The overlapping of the leaves actually enhanced my eyes into a cool mysterious look.

After overlapping and creating 3 black and white multiple exposure photos we were given the liberty to overlap colored photos! Resulting picture was this.

Photo Sandwiches? YUM!

2 pictures in one? cool huh? This was our current project called photo sandwiching and we do this by overlapping 2 films together. For this photo I overlapped a picture of me (from the self portraits) and a picture of piano keys to create this cool photo.



This here is a picture of my friend Ann, I overlapped this picture of her with a picture of the piano heads from my light project. I found this picture to be very interesting because it seems like she's a ghost of some kind, hiding a secret from the rest of the world.

None other than me!

For this project we took self portraits. This was actually my very first picture that I took behind the front entrance of my house. I thought the window would give the entire picture and my face a very weird and nice texture.

This was taken inside my house, I thought it would be really cool to create a picture where my head was on the piano keys. In general I think the overall effect was really cool, the piano keys creates a leading line which is pretty nice because it draws you into the picture. I exposed this for about 8 sec, although it may be darker, I feel that this lighter feel gives a serene and thoughtful effect.

It was pouring rain outside on a cool Sunday evening, so I thought, why not have some fun and enjoy the Oregon weather while it lasted. I walked outside to my backyard and had some photo adventure. This particular picture was taken on my deck, because it was a self portrait I had to use a timer, it was a time consuming project but I enjoyed it a lot. A great photo to start off on the winter season :)

Leafy Fun!

To embrace the fall season, my friend and I went to this beautiful walkway in the front of the school and had some leafy fall celebration. Here, I took a picture of my friend Kira. I really like this picture because it captures the beauty of the fall season and the fun that comes from it.

Double me!




This was another example I did of cross process. I was just alone in my room one night and got bored and decided to go on a photo adventure. I had these cool chandeliers things I made out of computer disks and I used it so my face was reflected on it. I thought it was really interesting and cool.

Village Boys

This was a cross process project where we got to play around and adjust the colors of the picture.  I took this picture last year during my visit to the sea of clouds up in the mountains in Taiwan. We lived in this little indian village and I wanted to capture the innocence and life of the village boy. I gave this picture a vintagy effect and thought it looked really cool.This was a cross process project where we got to play around and adjust the colors of the picture.

The 3 Expressions of Mom


For the self portrait project, I took pictures of my mom while she was reading. She seems to be reading something that was very interesting.

Unlike the usual serious expression she makes, I was able to make my mom reveal her crazy and interesting side in this picture. I love this picture a lot since it is rarely seen anywhere.














While she was reading, I was able to capture the burden and stress my mom faces everyday. It really shows how hardworking and caring she is.

Bike in the Dark

This is a silhouette for my light project. I didn't really have any figurines around the house so I took this barbie bike from when I was little and used it instead. I thought the outcome was really cool because the image looks really sharp. I used my usual RICOH point and shoot camera, not bad right?

CAR TOYS

For this assignment we were suppose to take a picture from a higher point of view and then use photoshop to create a tilt shift effect. In this case, the car will look like toys. I took this from the PSU bridge in Downtown Portland. I hope to create more of these soon, so far I'm still experimenting with this project. I think it will work better if I was at a higher altitude.

Composers in the Dark

This was for my light project where we had to take 12 direct light photos along with 12 silhouette. This was among the 12 direct photos that I took with my Ricoh point and shoot camera. I simply just took pictures of the piano composer figurines that I have above my piano. I really like the distinction of mozart in the background, which captures the attention of the audience. Overall I found this picture really cool.

Just a day with my friends

While attending a birthday party, I took this picture of my two friends with my Ricoh point and shoot camera. The picture turned out so well that I ended up making a collage for the friend on the left for her birthday. She was pretty delighted with the present. :)

Photo Time!

Here is my friend's cat while I visited her house during the weekend. For this picture I used my Ricoh point and shoot camera. The cat was just laying down on the floor and I decided to take a picture. Considering that this is my first roll of film, I think the outcome was pretty good! 

Also from this first roll of film is this picture of the piano keys I took while I was at my friend's house. I was bored and thought it would be cool to take a picture of the keys in a different perspectives. This was taken from my Ricoh point and shoot camera as well. Overall I am very happy with the picture because of the hazy to clear effect shown in the picture.

Photogram Time

This is my photogram that I did in Photo Class. For this assignment we were assigned to put objects under the projector on the lowest light setting for around 10 sec which creates a cool image of your objects. In my case I used my bracelets, watch, a dice, parts of a beady necklace and a few paper stars.

Pinhole Camera

In photo class we learned skills in taking pictures out of an ordinary can named the pinhole camera. The can had a small aperture with photo paper inside the can. With the can we were to expose the paper to an image that we want to take. For this example, I took a wall mural of our school and exposed the picture to light for 2 minutes and 36 sec.
