Image Bank - Multiple Flash





All the photos above are examples of multiple imagery.  This is an effect that is used in the studio and sees the use of the flash being changed to create this effect.  As you can see in all the examples that I have gathered, multiple imagery is something that typically works better on a black or dark background and makes the photo visually more attractive than that on a white background.  This is because the white doesn't compliment the effect as well on illuminating the intricate patterns that can be created using the effect.  It can be used to show movement in a still image or to display a the series of small events or movements.

I particularly like the last image that I chose as an inspirational example of multiple imagery.  I like the colour filter that has been used as it creates an eerie feel about the picture as well as making the model look a bit like a ghost as the flash fades out some of the photos in the final image.  I like how you can see different expressions on her face yet there still remains a focal point within the image as her eyes are making contact with one of the shots in amongst them all.

Another of the photos that I particularly liked is the card photo that I found.  In like the 'falling' effect that has been created and that way the photos really stand out against the dark background.  The 'ghostly' effect of the cards fading is again present here and personally I think this looks mysterious and adds to the idea of magic and card tricks.  The red colour on the cards makes the cards really stand out even where they are starting to fade out against the black background.
