…I couldn’t stop searching for the right one. Of course it was all about the perfect angle and a great juxtaposition of graphics. Then I realized they were few and far between and to practice the art of window reflections was inconsistent to say the least.
This just happened the other day after picking up morning croissants and made me realize how much has changed since my window days.
(Another way to achieve this kind of image is to collage single images together with photoshop. But I am not technically savvy enough to spend hours making these collages.)
My life changed the day I was digging, through the menu of my Nikon, and I spotted it. “Multiple Exposure”. I couldn’t believe it. I had discovered a way to construct my own photo collages using the subject matter of my design. I didn’t have to wait for these 3 dimensional stories to appear. They were mine now, to write.
For me they add a complexity to the visual story bringing greater depth to the image. The challenge of composing through trial and error, which is a way of seeking through seeing, is thrilling.
Architecture is more than building materials and form. It is touched by time, the environment and by us. It is in a constant feedback loop, creating and recreating context, atmosphere and space.
These images were created using my smartphone. I can now play with these ideas while I am on the go. It allows me to test ideas and practice compositions without have to bring my big camera. I decided to start another instagram account that will only be my phone double exposures. @jo_dbl_expo is my new idea park for these tests. They don’t always work but sometimes geometry just seems to play right into the lens….

Nice summary Jo.
