Layered Silhouette

[David Cletto Romero]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew what this effect was called, if anyone knew of a tutorial on how to replicate, or even help me out on what steps to do so. It looks like it's simpler than what it looks like, but I can't figure it out. I'm playing with all of these layers but can't get it right. haha. I'd like to be able to do it with any color, and obviously finding the right images helps. Anyway, thank you so much for anyone that could help, and I appreciate it so much. Excuse my newb-ness.

It's called double exposure.

I googled 'low key portraits' and found 2 images that I used here as an example.

Just open the first image.
Then open the second image and put this one on a new layer, set the blend mode of this layer to 'screen'.
Adjust the colors as you like it.

I certainly think you are getting there.

The only extra thing I would have done would be to mask out the top right of the image - I think it makes for a more pleasing image.



Cheers

I agree, it looks a lot better. But the goal was to replicate the oringal image, its based off Graceland the show? (never watched it) haha. And it has the silhouette image coming through -_- ahha

That's a fair comment. I think you have done an excellent job.
