seeing double


So after our presentation to the class, feedback that we received was that we had not touched on the surreal/Narnia aspect enough. Which was true, we hadn't quite thought out what surreal like things we would show in the editorial.
After seeing a powerpoint in Janet's class, this image caught my eye in a slideshow:


This image is very surreal in terms of the double face and the way its trippy and looks like a ghost. I thought maybe we could look at using this technique in our photography and this would bring in the surreal element we are missing. Ghosts are also linked to english aesthetic as it is a big in england with ghost tours in old castles dark grungy places.
This will be achieved using a slow shutter speed and the model moving around or we could do it in post production editing.

Here is another image of the technique:


So in this image there are four figures; its hard to see from this far away but the two girls on the right hand side are actually duplicates of the two girls on the left. You can slightly see that they are a bit see through and again this is surreal because you think they look like ghosts.
