- Started shooting on an old film camera and want to try something new? This video gives a basic introduction to double Exposures, how they work and some methods you can make use of.
Note - the wind on method used in this tutorial is not available on all camera models.

This is such a good tutorial. Most people tell me that I have to use the entire film first, rewind them and reuse them again.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial!!
I never thought about the rewind button for double exposures i thought u had to shot theough the whole film, or some cameras have a dedicated button for double exposures like the nikon fm.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've seen a lot of threads of people explaining it but I cannot understand without the visual! This is great.
Baie dankie papie! Just what I was looking for. ❤
Awesome, thank you!
beautiful thank you
This tutorial is great! What a neat trick! I've just fixed (by someone competent 😂) my mom's Pentax ME-super and I was curious to try something fun with it, this surely is one of the first things I'll try, thanks a lot!
Great that you fixed up that camera - hope you have fun and get some interesting results!
Hello, I have been practising double exposures with upside exposures. Sometimes I like the results, but I want more control like how you did with the ground/sky photos. Where it looks flipped & mirrored. I have some stupid questions…. I overthink ha 1.) what do you mean by “cover up half the frame😢?” Do you mean cover up half of the subject you’re wanting to photograph from afar? Or do you mean cover up half the lens? 2.) whatever tool you’re using in the video is light coloured & not black. How are the sections you don’t want to expose black, when the tool you are using is light coloured?
I’m sorry for so many questions. I’m just really trying to figure this out. And the college I attend basically wants us to teach ourselves. So I research a lot on my own & it’s a daunting process & discouraging when I can’t figure out how to do the things I want to do. Thank you.
Hey! No worries - so on those ones where I have the landscape (ground) on both sides - I'm covering half the frame with a black piece of card. So that half of the frame isn't exposed (then flip camera over and do the same thing the other way up). I do hold the card out a foot or two away - not ON the lens - because then it's easier to line things up and get a clear divide. I AM covering half the image frame though. Half of what I see through the viewfinder. Essentially for all of these double exposures - if you take a photo and there's black in it (in this case the card) then that bit can be exposed again. Hopefully that makes sense?
@@mattcgriffiths wow. First, thank you for responding & being willing to go on great detail. Not many creatives will do that. They’ll say, “I don’t want to give out too many of my secrets “ as if they invented it & didn’t learn what they know from someone else 😅 idk why some creatives feel inferior by the thought of sharing knowledge & not stunting people’s growth & creativity.
I understand the technique now. At least I can apply this to when I use 35mm. At the moment I am using 120. A Holga. I got so excited when I comprehended everything you explained, forgetting to consider it won’t exactly apply. I’ve seen this technique done with Holga, but not much info on how to do that. With the Holga, the viewfinder is on the left & not above the lens & centered like on most cameras 😅
Can i get some advice? I used a new roll but i'm certain the 1st and only shot was way too dark. Can i retrieve the roll out and put it in a new camera, then take photos as usual? Does that mean my first shot is going to be double exposure?
Hi, (a bit delayed) - Yes you could totally retrieve the roll and reuse it. If the first shot was almost/totally dark then you'd not notice but likely it captured something and will be a slight double exposure.
Hi! I have a pentax mz-50 which windes the film automatically, can I shoot normally and then reload it and shoot again for double exposure?
Hi Laura, yes you can but you'll need to mark the film so you can reload it exactly the same (not off set) I actually just finished a tutorial on this and I'm uploading it next week!
@@mattcgriffiths thank you! I just watched it:)
My k1000 does the same thing after a double exposure, it only winds a quarter of a turn or sometimes half. So I’ll get overlapping from previous image. Does covering the lense with your hand and doing a blank exposure fix this?
Yes that's what I do - you lose a bit of film but at least get image without an overlap.
@@mattcgriffiths Thanks for your reply, ill try that.
@@mattcgriffiths Does putting the lense cap back on and taking a shot work the same ?
du sehr nocht genua ich denke das hättest du besser machen können denn der pinkt unten an der kamera dräht 😅💁🏻♂️
