For these two photos, I wanted to make portraits that aren’t just “pictures of a person”—I wanted to show energy and personality using double exposure and lighting.
The first shot uses a slow camera shutter and blue/amber lights to blur the subject a little. It’s not a crisp, still photo because I wanted to capture how they move, not just how they look. The “K” and “G” on their jacket stand out, so even with the blur, you can tell it’s their style.
The second photo layers two versions of the same person (lit with blue and orange lights that clash). I did this to show that people aren’t just one thing—we have different sides that overlap, like how you might feel calm one minute and hyped the next. The dark background keeps all the focus on them and the colors, so the mix of their two “looks” feels intentional.
I didn’t want these to be boring, standard portraits. I wanted them to feel like a vibe—like you can sense the subject’s energy, even if the photo isn’t perfectly sharp.
