In-Camera Multiple-Exposure, December 2025

 

September 2025 : work in process

This image originated as an in-camera double-exposure, that I immediately cropped, duplicated, horizontally rotated, and then paired flush to the original.

Exploding Flowers of the Kansas Prairie

This quadruple-exposure was created in-camera using a swing/tilt flat-field 80mm lens on a full-frame dslr. Handheld, using on-camera flash.

God of the Dandelions (April 2025)

A strange realization that this image resembles an interior 'vision' I had days earlier washed over me when I stared at my computer monitor screen, having clicked "save image" hours earlier. I believe I encountered this image in a remarkably specific and visually-particular daydream a few days before I made the in-camera quadruple-exposure that served as the source image of this final version. 

The notion of a species of humans that grew a small jewel or diamond or precious amber or ruby or jade or sapphire or turquoise literally on the skin, embedded on the surface like an indelible tattoo, naturally growing each time an act of true love or true kindness was done from purely selfless, noble intentions. These people who did the most good in society would be notable for their encrusted, bejeweled skin surfaces, like old barnacles on a sunken chest of treasure. 

Evolution of a God from Dandelions

These are a few images which are emerging from a small group of multiple-exposures I made during two short photography sessions over two days. During late afternoon, in open shade, I used a full-frame dslr with a 105mm macro, at F8. The camera I use has a built-in flash that I find extremely valuable in situations like this. Handheld, at shutter speeds between 1/200 and 1/60, using the TTL flash and sometimes the lens' vibration-dampening ('VR') setting, about fifteen exposures were made in total. All the images were of the exact same dandelion. Each image is actually an in-camera multiple exposure: the first day's images were triple-exposures, while day two switched the setting to quadruple-exposures. This image is from day two. It is an in-camera quadruple-exposure.  The shadows in this photo have been toned a slight orange-red, while the highlights and midtones are a considerably warmer yellow/ivory "gray". More images to follow.
