p.1 #1 · Multiple Myselves

Did this for a school assignment, was also my first time shooting in a studio. the back drop was fairly narrow unfortunately. I had a 5th "personality" that I intended to include (intelligence) but the image became to crowded, and required alot of meticulous photo shopping.

Just chucked in a ugly water mark so please bare with it. Would love to hear your crit.

The Assignment called for us to conceptualize a shot through the use of Lyrics. I chose a song, that deals with a man tormented by M.P.S. and how they are fully developed characters all fighting for control over the mans body. (sorry if the explanation didn't make a ton of sense)

thought My friend did a pretty darn decent job, depicting torment.

The multi-exposure trick is interesting. One drawback of this one is that the different views of the figure are so different that we don't get the sense that all views are of the same person. Or at least I didn't.

Another way to present this is to brighten the secondary figures to almost match the brightness of the main figure.

Neat idea and I like the expressions. I personally would have liked to see the personalities come out more (not be as muted) and I found the flower distracting at first as it wasn't apparent where it came from (if that makes any sense).

Regards,
Simon

They *aren't* all the same person, silly! That's the point - they are all different people living in his brain!

Great idea, nice shot!
