Absolute magic 🤘🏼✨

[@VariTimo]

No. It’s science and art.

[@libbyheeren]

Ed! I've tried to understand double exposure, and tried a bunch on my own, and nothing helped me understand it the way this video did. Thank you for keeping it simple. Now I'm all excited to go shoot more, and I know I won't feel so defeated.

[@AleMca]

i've got to be honest. i hardly ever post comments on youtube, but i have to say this is a extraordinary clear guide on how to get into multiple exposures. Will go out right now and try it out. Thanks!

[@JacobCarlson]

These photos are beautiful, Eduardo. You really captured the magic you spoke of at the beginning of the video.

[@BethBuelow]

Beautiful results with your images! I've probably watched a dozen videos on multiple exposures over the past few days, and you're the first one to explain the light/dark dynamic clearly. THANK YOU for that. Super helpful!

[@bubbles123christine]

This has been the best tutorial ive seen so far!!!! Ive tried and tried to understand double exposure for so long. But youve explained it so well!!!! Thank you!!! 😊

[@CorneliayCirilo]

Es la primera vez que finalmente logré entender en un 100% el asunto de la doble exposición. Cada que intentaba hacerlo era más un asunto prácticamente al azar, y aunque con resultados no siempre tan malos,,siempre con la duda de cómo rayos salían unas y otras no. Te mereces todos los gracias del mundo, Ed :`)

[@mattiadevirgiliis5302]

Most creative hint on film multiple exposure so far. Well done! love the masking idea of shooting drawings w black marker on paper, need to try this myself! WELL DONE Eduardo!!

[@Hoogoh]

I truly do not know what to say about Fran. You guys don’t talk about yourselves as much but one thing stands out without being told and that is that I can actually SEE you loving her. Hopefully that makes sense.

[@rodwhite6308]

Just getting back into film, and now into double exposures. This is the best and most useful explanation I’ve seen yet, particularly about the light and dark, and using black and white film to emphasise the point. Thank you.

[@JoshBCamp]

Thanks! The white/black (highlight/shadow) analogy really helped me understand the process. I really like the shot using a drawing as well. Tons of new ideas coming to me.

[@jyotirmoysharma3452]

Very nice explanation of the black and white in the image. Took my first double exposure image today. It turned out decent for a first trial.

[@roadtripmitch]

Excellent Eduardo! Understanding the "white" effect is key. The first girl & tree was my fav, she doesn't seem very happy... I do night photography so we do layers for a composite. In fact I did one last night. The Christmas tree was blowing-out the Nutcracker figurines set-up next to the tree so I metered & shot them separate, then stacked them in PS. Safe Travels!

[@kainesau5096]

Thank you so much, I have always been looking for such a tutorial, and now my fav KZbinr makes one. This helps so much!

[@jezznausdembezirk]

so this is the 3rd video of you i stumble upon while searching for analog techniques and cam reviews. now you got the sub. keep up the great work! now i want to watch the video.

[@tsubastard]

The best video so far on double exposure for a beginner like me. Thanks so much!

[@serenitymattingly]

After watching many of these videos yours is definitely the most helpful! Thank you! 🙌

[@patmcdonnell7784]

nice job Ed, glad you used the TLR camera too. This is one of the fastest, best explained double exposure videos I've seen.

[@987dcm]

The best video I’ve seen on this topic so far. Very helpful. Thank you

[@LauraHernandez-js2gm]

This has been the best explanation and helpful for poalroid double exposure. Thank u!

[@juliocesarpereira4325]

i once tried to do some double exposures. I have an Argus C3 Matchmatic, a camera you have to remember to advance the film after each shot otherwise you'll accidentally use the same frame for a second exposure. Neither did I know I had to shoot with -1EV or use the white and black for better effect. However, I got one nice picture. My FM2 allows multiple exposures. I'll try it again following your advice. Thanks for the video.

[@everelusivekudos]

Gracias! El único video que he visto de varios videos que explican realmente la doble exposición.

[@mattnykamp]

you explained the concept so well! awesome video, awesome shots. thanks!

[@josuesolis2378]

yo i might be a little high but i felt hella emotional when he was taking the photos.... Truly amazing and informative

[@edpavez]

No judgement here about being high and watching KZbin! I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures. :)

[@taomeister]

Wow, the leaves at 5:00 are stellar.

[@alerijillo]

Ohhh man this video was so comprehensive, now I feel ready to try it myself. Thank you very much señor Eduardo

[@pathepaparslow2068]

Looks incredible, thanks for all the tips and ideas

[@epstar83]

Super video thanks! Been doing double exposures on digital, one exposure in colour and one in B&W. Gives the image interesting look.

[@zach_deloach]

THANK YOU. You broke this down and explained it flawlessly, also amazing work! You've earned my subscription!

[@konstantisalexopoulos7540]

Very helpful video! And the photos looked amazing

[@jaewoongyoon8904]

Great tutorial. I print using chemical processing. I do not use light room or photoshop, instead, I use high filter on enlarger to get it the same effect. I have to try the double exposure using my Mamiya 6 rangefinder camera.

[@5krunningdad769]

Thanks you will save me some film for sure trying double exposure. I also have a Mamiya c220.

[@walontuoja4336]

You were the first one to make double exposures really click in my head! Thank you Eduardo!

[@unicornsdoesexist]

You made it so easy to understand!! Thank you, i will wait until i'm more advanced (am on my first roll) to try double exposure, it looks so cute!

[@WatitThanakidchatchawan]

thanks for sharing your idea , it's easy to understand that for beginner similar me.

[@juliuswestercappel402]

Finally an vlog very good and well explained video about double exposures. I own the same camera, can you tell me what actually happens when using the double exposure mode? I normally cock the shutter after the first frame manually again(not winding the crank) Looking forward to hear from you.

[@Lastman737]

Thank you so much! My Canon A1 has a double exposure setting and I'm much more informed about it now! Seriously bless you for this! ✌📷😁

[@raabinator0144]

They look abolutely stunning

[@gonzalocervero5492]

Absolutamente genial. Perfectamente explicado. Todo un campo creativo para explorar. Muchísimas gracias Eduardo.

[@NicholsonFeldman]

This was a great video, and I don't think I've ever commented that on a photography channel in my life.

[@BraVia96]

Thanks so much for the details on this topic!! Helps a lot 😅

[@sviatoslavzaika8631]

Hi! Great video thanks! What i didn't really understand was the shot on 4:52. If white color can't be replaced by any new information, how diid the second black branch appear on the image in the space which should have been white? May someone please explain, because the result is just amazing?

[@ofiravphotographer]

great thourugh explanation of the process, thank you!

[@charlig_]

I come here today, love this video and how you explain it!

[@Ukuleleloki94]

A good intro digital cameras for this are the Fuji S3 + S5 DSLRs btw ;) They have multiple exposure features built in, take Nikon F mount lenses and the S3 only costs around £100. I practiced with one on my college course before shooting on film and you can see first hand on the spot. Great explanation of how to take the shot as always Ed!!

[@youpa]

Awesome vídeo. As you said, we kind of know the theory, but trying is a different thing! Tottaly trying this in my next weekend trip!

[@HUMANNICO]

Que buen video Edo!! Me encantó. Soy fan de las dobles exposiciones, pero siempre he sido de las que se van por la suerte. Tus tips me han dado muchas ganas de pensar mucho más las tomas y hacer algún proyecto interesante. Siempre es lindo ver a Fran en tus videos! Espero que les esté yendo muy bien con la mudanza. Un abrazo grande.

[@39exposures]

Lovely examples. Thanks for sharing!

[@jorgevelascoaraya5893]

ohhh gracias men, me alegraste el día con el vídeo estaba pal copi haciendo uno de los ensayos finales para la U y ya se donde podría aplicar dobles exposiciones gracias men eres el mejor, saludos desde Chile.

[@studionelle3340]

I had no idea that you did photography, I first came across you from Frans content many years ago. When I saw her as your subject I was like wait I remember this guy. Subscribed! Looking forward to catching up on your content as I explore my Yashica 635.

[@Hypekickerz]

why whould you dislike content like this. you literally came here and got more than you wanted for free.

[@celinedavid399]

Edu sos muy genial.. gracias por el tutorial

[@AhmadAteek]

Amazing Tut ! But you should've covered the camera shutter mechanism you use when you do double exposures, I mean how you stop the film of rolling while pressing these 2 shutter presses.

[@Pajarunning]

Just finished watching this video 👍 and life is just a little better 👌

[@j.elizabeth4621]

Hey Eduardo, you've helped me through about five rolls of film with my Minolta X-700 in the last two months or so. It's really satisfying shooting with film again lol. I was wondering, will you do a video of the best way to display photos in a portfolio or gallery/home setting? Like if there is a certain way to display portraits, black and white, etc and if they should be matte or gloss finish, etc? Thank you 💖❤️

[@TheJeremieProject]

This actual help me understand double exposure a little bit better now, oh thanks so much. will be something to try in the future.

[@henryt8008]

Qué maravilloso este vídeo! Eres mi elocuente y explicas el concepto muy bien. Me encanta el hecho de que podemos ver exactamente cómo construyes tus imágenes, es muy útil! Muchas gracias por eso :)

[@MrPonk34]

Man, long subscribed to your channel and love your videos. I accidentally decided to review a video about multi-exposure. I noticed the Asuka statuette on your bookshelf. I was pleasantly surprised by this. Hope Google Translate correctly conveyed the meaning of my words. Thank you!

[@donnakeeley4531]

Thanks, this was really well explained and I look forward to experimenting and improving my chances of success. Cheers from New Zealand

[@sylwiaatwill6625]

Great explanation how it works:) Thank you soooooo much!

[@juanchov8]

Me pareció genial tanto la explicación como los resultados!!! muchas gracias por compartir, saludos.

[@subhashisbasak4348]

So much info I gain watching the video... Thanx a lot...

[@soupman1919]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for your humble teachings!

[@robertoacevesdiaz]

¡Excelente video, Ed! No recuerdo de quién es la frase de que si no puedes explicar algo de una forma sencilla entonces realmente no lo sabes. Fue tan claro, práctico, sencillo. Me gusta lo que mencionas sobre tener una idea de lo que quieres lograr, planificarlo. En las artes creo que se nota cuando alguien lo pensó y trabajó antes que cuando sólo es un chispazo de buena suerte. ;)

[@ofdreamsandbooks6897]

The 'ghosty' ones are not cheesy at all, but precious!!!

[@Michele_Berardi]

I didn't know about the ghost thing, surely I'll give it a try! Nice video

[@SuperSomphon]

Best double exposures tutorial on youtube

[@TimXMan1000]

Awesome video I like how you said tres dos uno before you took the photo

[@HouseOfRandomRips]

Beautiful work!

[@patrykjanota7519]

Those double exposure, feel like artistic way to approach the photography.

[@screamingmimi90]

Wonderful video. First, let me understand... you shoot on film, enlarge, then scan the print into Lightroom? Second, if I want to do this on my enlargement, and I don’t want to use Lightroom, I must dodge the unwanted information out to the extreme, yes? Thank you for your willingness to share your experiments and expertise with us!

[@edpavez]

No, I shoot the film, develop it, scan it and throw it on Lightroom. At no point I print with an enlarger. That would be extremely expensive and time consuming and would render to be impossible to post videos weekly, unless uploading videos would be the only thing I did. Hahhaa

[@rodrigovmartins]

Very good explanation, thanks!

[@Stephie_L]

Lovely results. Was this a mamiya tlr? I have a c220....just wondering if all I have to do is shoot twice in the same position without advancing the film? It's been a while but I'm pretty sure most TLR require manual advancing of the film? Thanks

[@mattosj.berger2081]

Oh man, the photos turned out so beautiful!! Very inspiring.

[@papinacci]

this video is so helpful and well explained!

[@tomarber6488]

Great shots sir

[@saorirf7222]

Such an interesting experiment i really love the results!

[@emanuelmartinfernandez4710]

Excelente como siempre. También está muy bueno sacar todo un rollo de 35 mm, recargarlo nuevamente y hacer una doble exposición aleatoria. Has intentado? Abrazo!

[@edpavez]

No funciona. Las imagenes no calzan en el mismo lugar. Quedarán todas corridas.

[@Camophe]

Excellent ! Very easy to understand. It seems simple. I just have to find how to multi expose on a Canonet QL17

[@ameliekolbasin7468]

Those pictures are so beautiful ☺️

[@NachoKai]

Que hermosura. Edu probaste usar el Capture One para revelar digital?

[@shenovah]

Eduardo rompiéndola como siempre

[@karolaljecira7294]

Podrías enseñarnos cómo mantener y limpiar y trastear cámaras antiguas

[@Pululapu]

Lo máximo. Era lo que buscaba, muy bien explicado

[@alyhgonz807]

Puedes hacer el tutorial en español? Por favor. Gracias es la primera vez que veo algo diferente y muy bello, buen trabajo.

[@Pentax67]

Thanks a lot for the video ! I do have a question when you say -1 EV , do you mean it’s adding more light ? Because -1 is to add Light and +1 is to reduce light ... 400-1 = 800. 400+1 =200 . And I am 100% correct it’s how it works on film and a lot of people confuse 400-1 = 200 which is wrong !! So what do you mean by -1 EV ??? Thank you!!

[@edpavez]

No, you got it backwards: EV is calculated as EV = log2 (F2/(ISO * s)) meaning -1 EV is one stop less of light. It's not about "adding light", it's about lowering the exposure. Here's how it works: If you have correct exposure at EV0, in order to *maintain* a correct exposure at EV-1 you need to add a stop to some parameter (f/8 to f/5.6; 1/500 to 1/250; ASA 200 to ASA 400). I guess that's what confused you. But in this case, if you have correct exposure at EV0, when I say go EV-1 without compensating, that simply means lowering one stop to a parameter (f/8 to f/11; 1/500 to 1/1000; ASA 200 to ASA 100).

[@petizo8]

O sea hay q tomar la foto un stop menos en cada foto ? Y cada foto tiene q tener contraste o sea una de fondo blanco y el otro normal? Algo haci ? Quiero intentarlo!!

[@katykatarsis]

Estudio fotografía y solo seguía a Fran y no sé por qué no te he seguido desde antes!!!!

[@stephaniebrennan9580]

Hello! I have a twin lens camera also, a Yashica Mat. But I don't believe it has a multiple exposure button. How woukd I achieve double exposures otherwise ? I think I did once accidentally because the movement of two subjects doubled on the developed image which looked cool. But I've never managed it again

[@hugophotomx1]

que buen video! y el dedo en la gopro le dio un efecto "dreamy" jaja saludos!!

[@acidsnow5915]

another amazing video! thanks for sharing so many great videos with us i enjoy every single one of them

[@rkb4238]

THIS IS PURE MAGIC -- love it!!!! Thanks so much for the video...

[@3keko42]

Very good! But what about several number of exposures? Double expo > -1EV, quadruple expo -2EV....and then? 6 expo >-3EV or you have to double the expos? for ex: 8 expo > -3EV, 16 expo >-4EV....????

[@edpavez]

You have to double the expositions, as you need to let a full stop of light in.

[@akamioju]

hello, I just bought a zenit 122 and I'd like to take some pictures using double exposure. do you have any idea about the way I can make this happen on my new camera? I think it's manually, but I don't know the steps. could you help me with that? also, I loved your photos on that video, thank you so much for your help c:

[@Jokasitot]

really like this video, good explanation! been looking for a good tutorial for a long time. keep up!!

[@stayreview3362]

I try many times with my Lomo LCA+ the resulf doesn't look good, Thanks for ur great tips video.

[@lbtaschler]

For everyone who is using 35mm Film cameras: to take multiple exposures you need to push and hold a button at the bottom of the cameras and rewind once. (Normally you push this button when the end of the film is reached so you unlock the possibility to rewind the whole film. ) It is not a very exact thing as sometimes the Film is still moved a Little but it works even with the cheapest camera.

[@edpavez]

The issue is: not every 35mm has a rewind button, and there’s no way to rewind the frame exactly, because the wind moves different amounts of film, depending on where in the roll you are (beginning, middle or end). So I would highly suggest getting a 35mm camera that allows for double exposures, instead of trying this (the Canon A-1, for example, can do it!).

[@achmadfauzi2436]

Wow thanks man thats clear the air on my mind

[@Patsesson]

Yes. Thank you! A really good video, more of these tutorial kind of videos :) One would be nice of color correcting a color scan in photoshop/lightroom. Now i use Vuescan to scan my rolls as a linear scan. Then ColorPerfect plugin in Photoshop and select a correct filmtype for the inversion process. I get lots of gray and grain in that process so would be nice to see a different workflow also :)

[@FilipemcRaimundo]

Thanks for this Video! It really helped me doing it better on Double expousers
