Special Techniques

Double Image

- Mirror Image
This composition includes the girl and her mirror image on the shiny surface of a table made of Formica. The same arrangement can be adopted using mirrors or any shiny and smooth surface: a method sometimes used for still life to give it an additional dimension.
It is better if the lighting is indirect and reflected on the ceiling or on the walls.

- Frontal Display
The success of a frontal display depends a lot on the accuracy of the alignment between the image of the real subject and the projected image.
The view of Venice in the picture was projected by a reflective mirror on a very reflective screen.
The character was then placed a few meters in front of the screen but without the parts projected on the subject itself being distinct. The model appears as a shadow against the background so I was able to light it separately with a spotlight. The position of the person and the lighting were so chosen that the projected image would not be altered by the direct light falling on it. The final arrangement I adopted is shown in the illustration.

- Splitting the image
To obtain this effect I used a device by which it could be blocked and placed in front of the lens. I made this device from a frame which was placed on the surface of the film and was divided into two parts: an upper part and a lower part which met in the middle of the image. I took the first picture of the girl against a background of rocks after I had lifted the upper part of the frame. Then, after I had placed the upper part, I lifted the lower part and took a second picture on the same film without changing the device which was placed on a support but I asked my model to move away from the field of view. Since the two pictures I took were similar, the rock background did not indicate any break in their continuity. If an image like this shows a lighter or darker error, it means that the area where the two sections were cut is not accurate, which means that the shutters were not positioned with perfect accuracy.
