Blend if Layer Style: One Person, Multiple Times Composite
The finished image from this technique makes it look a lot harder than it is (especially because it’s not hard at all). Any beginner can do this, first try, as
long as you follow one simple rule: shoot this on a tripod and don’t move it—just move your subject. You can do this outdoors, indoors, the background
doesn’t matter, as long as the background isn’t moving (it’s much trickier if something is moving in the background), but otherwise—piece of cake. Just
remember, shoot this on a tripod.
Step One:
Like I said above, shoot this on a tripod and this is a piece of cake. The idea is to place your tripod directly in front of your subject (like you’d generally
do), and then don’t move your tripod at all during the shoot. Take your first shot, then have your subject move somewhere in your frame—ideally a few
feet from where the original shot was taken, so the other images of your subject don’t overlap (it’s just easier if they don’t). Also, don’t change your
lighting. Just like the tripod, set it up and leave it alone. The only thing that moves during the shoot is your subject (and yes, you can do this outside using
natural light, but don’t move the sun. Just seeing if you’re paying attention). I included a few behind-the-scenes shots here, so you can see what I’m talking
about.
