For the past 2 years I have had a fascination with
multiple exposure photography. This is due to purchasing a Diana film camera,
and the wonderful accidental mistake of not winding on the film, and so two
images being placed on top of another to create a whole new image. Charles
Berquist is an artist among others who has used this process in a few of his
images called, ‘Double Vision Series.’ I really enjoy looking at his
photographs as they have this real dream like feeling to them. The richness of
colour and lighting really emphasises this. I really think his work is
incredible and is definitely someone that will influence me to make my work better.
From looking at his images I can take his concepts and try and incorporate them
more into my own work, as the thought process of planning the images are better
constructed. I have mainly based my images on the surrounding areas and the
occasional trips I have been on to get a better variety of images. I really
enjoy looking at other artists’ work who have used this technique, and not all
of them are planned out. But my favourite images, such as Berquist’s work are
thought about carefully to create another world.
