Surreal Cityscapes And Portraits I Created In-Camera Without Photoshop
I shot these photos around North and South America using my camera’s double exposure feature, without doing any kind of post-production compositing in Photoshop. I use a Fuji x100s and it’s the best camera I’ve ever owned. It suits my shooting style perfectly, like a hand in a glove and I take it with me everywhere I go, which increases the chances of catching these moments.
I look at it as a creative exercise, to sharpen my instincts as a shooter since the camera only stores the first exposure for a couple of minutes before the second one must be captured. So they must be made quickly, and in the moment, not back at home on my computer. I was always inspired by surrealistic artists such as Magritte and M.C. Escher, and I try and take the everyday world, and recombine its elements into different strange ways. I call it The Hasselgram Project (inspired by Hasselblad black and white square images). Thanks for looking!

Absolutely amazing. The combinated positioning of the different objects and textures in the photos is really good. Great work!

This article is super. I am always ready to broaden my horizons, especially in the working field and these pieces of information fill my knowledge gap concerning digital photo manipulation. It is also very important if talking about product photo editing since here highly-qualified photo editing service is essential. It is enjoyable to cooperate with fixthephoto.com and photographerโs edit, they have informative articles, amazing pictures and sophisticated specialists.

Awesome. How do you get to chose where the second image overlays the first, since you don't use photoshop?

Hi Zooney! My trusty Fuji x100s gives me an image overlay feature IN CAMERA. So I can see the faded remnants of my first exposure superimposed live over what I'd be shooting next, and I then use that to line up the second one.
