The practice of using multiple exposures to create a single image can add depth and layers—as well as dreamlike and surreal elements—to all genres of photography. In this workshop, fine-art photographer Manuela Thames demonstrates methods that can be applied to everything from abstraction and portraiture to still life and landscape.

We begin with a step-by-step introduction to the Adobe Photoshop techniques that bring your vision to life by combining two or more images: blending modes, layer masks, and other helpful tools and adjustments. As we repeatedly review and practice the Photoshop steps through various assignments, Manuela also shares advice and direction for creating multiple exposures in-camera, illuminating the creative advantages and disadvantages of both methods.
While participants get comfortable with image-combining techniques, Manuela helps you develop your creative vision. We explore topics including which elements to look for, how to choose images and pre-visualize results, when to employ black and white versus color, and how those choices affect the final photograph.
