The second shoot I took when in the alps skiing. I was looking at Miki Takahashi who created self portraits using double exposure, altho using a digital camera and post production. To make mine pre-production I looked into film cameras and I used a Lubitel-166 which doesn't have a double exposure lock so I was able to create double exposures without having to manually wind back the film, which can be inaccurate. In some picutres I forgot to lower the settings on the camera so one of the picutres looks more dominant than the other, but this makes it looks more dreamlike.
I found that it is very hard to plan for double exposures when you are constantly walking around, as you forget where you framed a Person in relation to the landscape.
The idea was to take pictures of people and link them to the land around them and what they were doing, also making it look very ethereal and dream like. I think I achieved this. My best edit is one of the ones in the snow or the girl at the station as it was framed well and doesn't look out of place like some of the others that were framed differently. I found that the limitation of the 120 film only having 12 pictures hindered the number of pictures I could take with double exposure so next time I would like to try with 35mm but work out a way to keep the double exposure without winding back and guessing where the frame is.
For my next shoot I would like to look into more film destruction with different chemicals.
