Expert tip
Investing in the planning
phases of a double-exposure
image can really pay off. Make
sketches, jot down notes and
look online and in magazines
for inspiration. Gather stock
photos and/or create your
own assets. Line up different
options for your images.
When you’re in the heat of
creation, stopping to search
for alternate images can stunt
your artistic flow. During your
image search, try collecting
some oddball images that
catch your eye. They may be of
use in a future project.Proper
