Photographers who are really serious about their craft spend a lot of time researching and practising and finding new ways to improve their skills. They also try to use various techniques and sometimes deviate from their usual genre to keep their creativity flowing. One of the types of photography that can be fun to explore and to come up with new ideas is trick photography. There are a lot of ways in which trick photography can be done and on this article we will take a look at one of those.
Sometimes referred to as multiplicity or clone photography, populating an image with multiple versions of the same person is something that may not provide a foundation for building a career, but will surely provide you with a better understanding of a variety of photography skills, in addition to broadening your experience with various post-processing techniques.
If you’re intrigued, check out this thorough step-by-step tutorial; but before you get started with your cloning experiment, peruse the images below for a little inspiration.
