Robert Heinecken inspiration // Experimental

Robert Heinecken creates images of double exposing images. This is interesting as it tells a story, with more information to it than a single image would as his images are two different images on top of each other so each of them are visible.

Each of his images below involve a portrait at some angle, which makes the image seem as if it's personal towards the subject. The images also makes the viewer wonder what the reasons for each layer of the image are and whether there is a specific story behind it.

Each of his images seems to have a theme within it, for instance the top one being a specific female subject and metal, the middle one being what's in the subject's mouth, the last one being objects that the subject could be thinking about.

My images that I got inspiration from Robert Heinecken are below.

Both images above feature a portrait, with another image or textured paper which has been double exposed. This creates the idea that there is a personal story with the subject and the other layer of the double exposure, being the reason that they have been chosen to accompany the portrait. This works with Robert Heinecken because each layer seems as if there is a story and reason behind it, as well as the fact that they've been double exposed to the light of the enlarger within the darkroom.
