4b.The Indecisive Moment

“The traditional photograph records a single instant from a single point of view. Since digital photographs are not limited by the same constraints as traditional photograph, today’s photographers may combine several instants in a single frame, taken from several points of view” Jonathan Lipkin from Photography Reborn

All of the images below use some form of layering and blending in photoshop to combine multiple moments in time, creating an Indecisive Moment. This changes the way you shoot your images and will hopefully open up avenues for new ideas. A lot of the success of this assignment is dependent on how well you shoot your photographs. Using a tripod will allow you to shoot multiple photographs of the subject while the background stays the same.

The images below use multiples of people in conjunction with a mirror to create very different effects than simply duplicating a person in the frame.

Below are two older multiple image photographs, from the days before Photoshop. They were created using photographic printing techniques, but are nearly identical to photographs being created today using Photoshop.
