Thanks for this video, as just started to use the Affinity Suite of products. Michael can I ask can this same affect be created in Affinity Designer? Cheers, Rahul.

[@MichaelSturgill]

No problem! As far as I know, you could do this in Designer. I think it has everything you need to follow along, but I can't really say for certain because I don't use designer very often.

Melding and mixing 2 different photos is NOT double exposure. It's a photo modification using 2 different pictures. This generation doesn't know shit and obviously does NOT study history. True Double Exposure was once a random event that occurred naturally and accidentally. It happened before the advent and the introduction of the camera safe mode that prevented double exposures. The cog gear and cog teeth to advance the film once exposed was created so that a segment of photo film could only be exposed once. Previous cameras had no such thing. Because of how the old cameras worked, sometimes photographers forgot to advance their film to the next frame. As a result they took 2 different photos on the same photo frame of film. This resulted in double exposure where 2 photos occupied the same photo frame of film. this shit of combining 2 different images in post editing does NOT qualify as double exposure. It's a blending and modification of 2 single images merged into one photo. I grew up using old school cameras and studied old school film photography. I studied and learned how to do double exposure because when it first happened some photographers realized the value and creativity that could happen with a double exposed photograph. I wish the idiots of this generation took the time to study history and study about things that they have absolutely zero understanding or knowledge of. I hate this shit of pretending and making something and then calling it something that it's not. I don't give a shit what anybody says... this does NOT qualify as double exposure!!!

Thank you for sharing your insights on traditional film photography and the original process of double exposure. You're absolutely right about its historical significance and the unique way it was achieved in film cameras. The traditional method of double exposure holds a special place in the history of photography. In the digital realm, 'double exposure' has evolved to describe techniques that emulate this effect, though the process differs from the traditional film method. This modern adaptation aims to pay homage to the original technique while exploring new creative possibilities in digital photography. I appreciate your perspective and agree that understanding and respecting the roots of these artistic practices is important, but it's also important to see how the art changes through time.
