Multiple Exposure
I created many multiple exposure/ composite images but in this one i decided to combine an image of the tree in my backyard during a sunset and the pole railing of my porch to create an interesting composition. The images relate in that the photo of the tree is the form of the wooden porch only while living and the porch is what the trees wood would be used for after being cut down. It is a composite of a tree in its living and non living state. It could also relate in that the tree is a naturally created life form and the wooden porch is a man made structure. The images overlap well because the negative space in each picture is being filled by the positive space in the other photo. This occurs for both overlapping images making it compositionally sound. I played with just the opacity of the images to make them this way after merging the layers. The concept that it conveys is the relationship of nature combined with manmade objects and the relationship of nature in its stages between life and death.
