Shooting Multiple Exposure Photography
To shoot multiple exposure photography, you will need a camera that has a multiple exposure mode. This mode allows you to take several photos and combine them into a single image. Start by selecting a subject with interesting textures and details, such as a cityscape, landscape, or portrait. Then, set your camera to multiple exposure mode and take your first shot. After the first exposure, select a new composition and take another shot. Repeat this process until you have captured all the desired images for your multiple exposure.
