Multiplicity. Cloning. Sequencing. This method of photo manipulation takes on a couple of different names, but the main idea is to overlay multiple photos to capture a repeating subject.


This assignment will require some planning and specific steps. Please make sure to consider them and adjust to meet your preferences.

Step 1: Plan the scene. Think about where you want to take your photos. What is the brightness like? Landscape or portrait? What is subject doing at each step?

Step 2: The Equipment. Phone cameras can work for this assignment, but using a DSLR will give you the most control. Considering using manual focus and a tripod to get consistency for each image.

Step 3: Visual Field. Where is your subject moving to in each shot. Try to minimize overlapping and having your subject move too close or too far away from the camera in each shot.
