Assignment: Multiple "Me's"

Multiply Yourself! 

Creating this assignment is a lot easier than it looks! First though, you'll need an idea. In class, we will be learning HOW to layer your photos and create one image, but outside of class you will need to take the time to create the photographs. 

Taking the Pictures

To make clones of yourself, put your camera on a tripod and take multiple pictures of yourself in different spots within the same scene. If your camera has a timer (shown next), start the timer, and then move in front of the camera so it takes a picture of you.

Choose a different pose for each picture. you can take pictures and then move in front of the camera before the shutter clicks. try to make your “characters” look like they’re interacting with each other by their facial expressions. Click the below images to download them so you can try it yourself!

Opening the Pictures as Layers

Open the files in Photoshop as layers, with one on top of the other. You can open multiple pictures as layers by selecting File | Scripts | Load Files Into Stack. You’ll see your photos as multiple layers within a single picture, as shown next. You can use more than two pictures.

DUE DATE:

You'll need to have your photos taken by the end of the week (1/19/18) and you will have until Wednesday 1/24/18) to get final image posted. I would like EVERYONE to post their final image to their blog followed by your original images.
