How I Shoot Double Exposures on Film

[@AsLittleDesignAsPossible]

this is audio visual gold. thank you. these pics came out insane. Easily $50K for that jawn

[@torrontoman766]

that's what we all waited for

[@linusandhiscamera]

i know that's right!

[@Orthodox_Cinema]

I was literally just sitting here thinking about double exposure and you just uploaded this 19 mins ago mind-blowing

[@linusandhiscamera]

great minds think alike

[@Orthodox_Cinema]

@@linusandhiscamera spot on definitely thanks for sharing

[@davidjauregui3569]

Dude, the phone photo through the viewfinder to check framing is honestly brilliant! Thank you for cooking, chef Linus 🤝

[@linusandhiscamera]

just keeping it practical!! do this all the time to remember what i shot

[@shotbykwamzy]

i use the rb67 and would love to get better at double exposure! this video helped a lot!!!!

[@slk1771]

Honestly if you said you made that shot in camera I would have thought you were lying. Unreal how good it is

[@slk1771]

Also major props to you for being totally transparent with your process. Very refreshing

[@linusandhiscamera]

thanks for watching! posted the negative of the 120 shot on instagram too so you can see that it’s the real deal

[@karlwithab4813]

holy crap that last one was insane idk how you do it but dont stop man

[@akseljohnson6146]

I use the RB67 !!!! And I’d love to try the masks. I’ve done a few double exposures mostly my accident but when u do it right they can be so amazing

[@luxnguyen1201]

I have an RB and shoot double exposures, would love to try the mask :)

[@AsLittleDesignAsPossible]

Oh yeah I shoot an RZ and would love to try that mask for double exposures

[@michinaps]

Your way of experimenting and making art with photography is so inspiring and motivating. I want to get into film and the frankinstax IS SO INSANELY GOOD.

[@linusandhiscamera]

Time to get a film camera! Thank you so much and thank you for being here!

[@creasik_]

Easily one of the best, if not the best video about film photography that i've ever seen ! Genius work right there 👏

[@linusandhiscamera]

Ahhh thank you!

[@Aaron-fb9mk]

Looking forwards to try that on my rb 67 as well! I used to draw lines on the groundglass for a similar Experiment because i didnt know about the masks😅

[@liam59]

Watching your videos always makes me want to go out and experiment with my photography. Beautiful shots!

[@linusandhiscamera]

I love to hear it!

[@Autefault]

Hey, I also love shooting my Instax on an RB67! Never do a shoot without it. Would love to try the masks!

[@fishyfilms1]

I’m a new RB67 user and I’ve been shooting a lot of street photography and experimental studio work! The frankenstax back would be perfect! Love your videos dude! ✌🏽

[@teocrawford]

Wooow the final result is so good😵✨

[@linusandhiscamera]

Thank you!!

[@DESUREMUSIC]

I just bought an rb67 and got an instant back for it. Can’t wait to try double exposure

[@mackshub2010]

I just got my RB67 in March and I’m in loveeee I’ve always wanted to try a double exposure (on purpose lol)

[@eugenesoenen849]

I am currently working on a book/fanzine project with Instax photos on my Mamiya RZ 67, and I didn't know about masks at all. I had thought about making some with cardboard, this is just mind-blowing.

[@nikolai4828]

Hey I've only shot a couple of accidental double exposures on my rb down here in New Zealand. Your shots were crazy good i had no idea they could be that good. I need one of those franks

[@quintonterry2697]

This is crazy. Been wanting to try this out on my RB67, but very hesitatant. The mask seem like they'll help with composition. Pick me, I'd love to try this out finally.. Thanks for always putting out great informative videos and getting me out of my comfort zone..

[@fw6858]

Bro ive been waiting for some tutorials!! Phenomenal work - would love to try that on my RB67!!

[@jamie-zd1tj]

got my rb67 like a couple month ago and im going to into college for a photography and this shoot right here gets me so excited and inpired to try double exposures in the studio in the college. great vid!

[@AaronAlvarez-uv5mk]

This was such a cool bts of how you get down. I love the energy in your workflow! Can’t wait to get weird and intentional with an instax back and some masks!

[@jacksonwazny]

Great pics Linus. The instant back is great for this kind of work because it gives you quick feedback if you messed up the exposure. Certainly seems to have helped you plan for the medium format picture. Definitely need to find one of those for my Bronica.

[@shotsbyhailey]

so cool! wish he had a back for the hasselblad

[@Cats_and_Film]

Same 😂

[@2041311]

Super running into you at the film store the other day! Thanks for another great video Linus. I gotta try this with my projector

[@PavithraPhotography]

RB user here as well! The last shot is just beautiful!

[@rockclimbermaca]

Linus that last image was so insane, your work is incredible. I would love to see you try some crazy triple or quadruple exposures!

[@linusandhiscamera]

Oh i'm on it

[@BachezDoesArt]

I've been using the RB67 and would love to try out that mask! Picking up the Frankinstax soon too! I do street photography so I'm loving the idea of having instant shots to give to people to take home

[@rayysama]

saw this on twitter & one of my friend told me that you have the tutorial uploaded here so i came here running.. great idea & even better execution 🫵🏽

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much!!

[@bernardkealey6449]

The mask makes so much sense. Love your vids man, thanks for taking us on the journey with you, rather than smugly lecturing like so many do. You rock.

[@linusandhiscamera]

Thanks for being here!

[@GrillattuLampi]

Yessss amazing, got the RZ and would love to try the masks! 🤩🤩

[@patricklau1326]

So cool to see how you compose the double exposures! Would love to try out one of the masks on my RB67. Cheers from Denver Colorado!

[@studiothrteen4116]

Linus always looks like he is having so much fun shooting!!! Love these videos! I would love to try some double exposures with the RB67! I can't say that I am the best at exposing film but this seems like so much fun! I use the OG RB67 tho and its a bit beat up but it works lol

[@Photowopp_]

RB user here! Would love to get my hands on a mask. This video just inspired me so much.

[@Dinosaursh1t]

That last shot is just brilliant 👏🏻🐐

[@sirrileydenton]

Those masks look clutch! My first double exposure attempts were developed by you during the Linusandhisfilmlab days.

[@josuemolina6124]

I could only think of the cover of CINEMA from The Marias, beautiful shots man! I just got a Mamiya RB67 Pro S today, can't wait to use it! :D

[@linusandhiscamera]

Huge fan of them and that album, I can't say it was the inspiration for this photo or the posing but since I've seen that album cover hundreds of times, it must have been unconsciously inspiring the posing of this image!

[@alessandrosignorini9556]

I don't have a RB or RZ but a 500cm saved from the trash and a HVSQ instax mag Thanks for the video, such an excellent way to explain multi exp! A mask tutorial would be great

[@ahmedkhan5107]

phenomenal bro! you are the king of double exposers!

[@linusandhiscamera]

my dawg thank you!

[@XgremyX]

This was super rad. I shoot with an rz but ill probably buy a mask anyway because ive only ever done rough, guesswork double exposures. Thanks for showing the workflow

[@Jackson_Scott]

I’m so glad you made this video. Loved how these ones came out, awesome stuff

[@areelguy]

Now this is how you do double exposures.

[@ignacioalcantara513]

nice video, one of the best i seen in the topic of double exposure, i feel so inspired to explore something similar now. in terms of my favorite image from this video i would say for me was just before you got the perfect rounded spot light behind her for me the less simmetrical and more organic had some magic to it but of course it's your search. congratulations and thank you for sharing the process.

[@CrnaInBela]

thats a banger shot!

[@micahcoto4543]

Really cool to watch your process. Great Vid

[@browardshinobi]

I use the Mamiya RB67 and I would definitely love to try double exposure using the double exposure mask

[@CharlotteMack-nf9fn]

This was amazing....... oh my god

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you charlotte!!

[@thevoiceman6192]

Nice work. How did the 120 film photos come out? Would have loved to see the whole roll of those photos not just the instax unless you showed those as well.

[@linusandhiscamera]

I actually only ended up shooting that single frame at the end on 120. I wish I did with the other shots, but I was too focused on getting the instax right and then jumping into the final concept tbh

[@juanfilipwinifred]

I really liked the test shots

[@ezcire1]

Great video! I didn't even know I needed a double exposure mask until now! 😂 This would definitely help with shooting double exposures 😂 send one my way bro 😀

[@very-ratti]

Linus to Linus: these are great. but let me cook.

[@rdjns]

obviously the multiple exposures and rest of the video were genius. but creating lights in photoshop and using a projector?! that is brilliant, I would've never thought to do that 😂

[@ba_hiriart]

how do you scan your instant film Linus ? you are doing a lot of these recently, could be fun to learn about ur process !

A really nice way to compose those shots would also be using a transparent sheet and drawing on it.

I have just got the Mint TL70 plus and am looking forward to shooting street portraits with it. Wonder if your mask will work with it?

[@linusandhiscamera]

definitely a different size, but that thing is sick

[@junoworldwide]

Hey Linus! You've inpired me to try these techniques out over the weekend. One question - do you know if an instax back exists for the Mamiya 645 pro? Thank you and keep up the exceptional work!

[@linusandhiscamera]

It doesn't look like anyone sells one outside of 3D printable files, which isn't something I know how to do personally haha

[@ericmontaephoto]

@@linusandhiscamera I dm’ed you

[@bountyjedi]

Using instant film to test double exposures seems really neat. Unfortunately my current best bet at double-exposing instax involves fiddling in the dark to put it in one of my TLRs, and then fiddling in the dark again to get it back into the Instax square camera. I really wish I had a medium format SLR that accepts one of those Instax backs right now, heh. They are generally quite expensive though, which is why my current medium format cameras are simply medium format TLRs and folders. Only one of them has any double-exposure prevention though, since they are too old to even have it, and on the one which actually has double exposure prevention it is easily bypassed by just manipulating the shutter lever on the lens directly rather than the on-body shutter button.

[@NANCEmusic]

sooo good bro

[@killa-kitty]

Is there an order to follow when shooting double exposure, such as shooting the dark scene or the bright scene first? Or does it not matter as long as the composition is right?

[@linusandhiscamera]

i meter these normally! imagine either one of the exposures by itself. the white circle, and then the orange portrait. both of them never share the same space on the negative. that way, you’re just filling in negative space instead of trying to figure out the math of halving each exposure to compensate for the overlap, if that makes sense. i just shoot my double exposures with no overlap and line it up so every exposure has its own negative space!

[@killa-kitty]

@@linusandhiscamera Oh really appreciate you for the kind and detailed explain. I totally understand. 1. meter as single shot, and 2. try to use unexposed area of each shot. Right?
