This was my first portrait photo-shoot, I experimented with composition and lighting as I wanted to try and get the best results from my photographs. However not as many of them where in focus as I had initially thought, this meant that I couldn't use as many images as I wanted to experiment with. I then opened an image that I thought had turned out quite well and overlayed one of my other images onto it, I played around with the different overlay settings and with the opacity of the image. I turned one of the background photographs into black and white and kept the other one in full colour, I found that this created two different kinds of effects, which I both quite liked. When I next experiment with my images I will remove the background so that I can hopefully achieve an image that has a bold outline and white background, as I think that double exposed photos look their best when they are edited that way.
