Beautiful Double Exposure Photographs



Double exposure photographs are extremely fascinating. Here's a beautiful set by Andre de Freitas. The double exposures give us a glimpse into two completely separate but intertwined worlds.

Berlin, Germany-based photographer Jens Fersterra knows how to pay respect to his city.

Brano, who also goes by the name Gartier Atelier, has one style which is characterized by calm, flowing silhouettes and another which uses high energy, collage and grunge elements.
