My multiple image

   My 
                Multiple 
       Image
Three good things:

The background looks really good 

The lighting was very bright, making the colours in the photo pop out more
Creating layers was very simple, meaning It was easy to create this image

The images worked well with the background e.g. the sitting on the chair postion


Three things i'd improve:

I'd stick to the original plan as I think that would have been better
Spent more time on my layers project and added more layers to it

The background picture is abit too edited, you can see the outline abit

Used more people in my layer, so 2 or 3 more people instead of just the 1

Planning for my multiple image

                                                         ROUGH PLAN 
                                                FOR MY
                                MULTIPLE IMAGE.

For my multiple image, I plan to recreate the famous 'the_beatles_crossing_road' 
image (as seen above). I plan to use one person instead of for, i'll use photoshop to create 4 duplicates of the person so it looks like their are four different copies of them.
                                                         
                                                               How
                                        I'll conduct 
                                the shoot:

To switch it up, Instead of having all the duplicates positioned in the same was as the beatles were, Im thinking of positioning one of the duplicates on the pavement, another on top of a car, then two crossing the road, but in opposite directions.The pavement and crossing the road images will be simple, but to to the sitting on top of a car image, I'll position the person I plan to use on a chair then edit it on photoshop to look like they were actually on the car.

Paul Smith










PAUL SMITH
             Multiple 
Image.





One thing I really like about Paul Micheal smith's is his multiple images. 
He covered many areas such as Heroes, Army front line and one of my favourites, 
 In this image, Paul has created a football multiple image using 6 copies of Robbie. He can be seen taking the shot, Then you can see four copies of him creating a wall then the last one posing as goal keeper.
