Technique Page - Picture within a Picture



Different techniques for Picture within a Picture: 

  • One way to do this, is shown in the first image. Whereby, the camera doesn't move and stays very still, and then one image is shot of just the background, and the other is shot with somebody holding a frame in the center of the shot. Then, when editing, layer the two images on top of each other, keeping the one with the model on top, and then either use the rubber tool or select tool, to rub out or delete the original image within the frame, which should then reveal the background inside the frame. 
  • Another technique is to take multiple photographs of the same photo through a frame, (or duplicate it whilst editing), or take similar photos with the same background but different models holding the same frame etc, and then whilst editing, layering the images on top of each other, but the first image must remain the original size, and then the other images must decrease in size until they appear smaller and smaller. Allowing the same effect as shown above with the phone. 
  • Also, by taking one photograph of someone holding a frame (horizontally), and then shooting a video, you are also able to place the video within the frame to create a moving picture, within a picture.
