STRONG PHOTOGRAPHY – AP

For this week’s assignment, you will create cloned images of the same person or pet. Don’t do objects as that’s too easy to duplicate naturally.

What makes this possible is taking multiple images at the same location. YOU WILL NEED A TRIPOD FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. Once you have your images, you stack them in Photoshop using Layer/Duplicate Layer. Then you use layer masks to create the cloned effect.

MAKE SURE TO LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN CLONES. IF THEY DO OVERLAP IT BECOMES VERY TRICKY TO FIX.

CHOOSE ONE OF YOUR IMAGES TO COMPETE IN THE PHOTO CHALLENGE FOR THIS PERIOD.

FOUR cloned images are due before 12/12.
