I decided to try something new. My camera has a feature that allows creating multiple exposures, so I finally took the time to explore how it works.

What is multiple exposure?
Multiple exposure is nothing new or groundbreaking — this technique has been around since the days of film cameras. The concept is simple: a single frame is exposed several times, layering different images on top of each other.

Below you can see two examples. From two separate photos, the camera creates a third one — a combined version of both images, digitally imitating how it would look if two shots were taken on the same film frame.

You can achieve a similar result in Photoshop, of course, but the images shown below are straight out of the camera, without any editing.
