Have you ever got that light bulb moment while taking a shower? Well, the concept of our feature for today was conceived while the artist was taking a shower, inspired by a shower flower; colorful shower sponge. Let's check out his amazing double exposure project! Read on and enjoy!

This project was an exercise for school on the technique of double exposure. But being a subject that has been seen and seen again and again, for most cases, a mix between landscape and portrait, I wanted to give it some personality to this exercise. So I sought inspiration everywhere and while taking a shower she came! More precisely using my "shower flower" (I don 't know if you call it like that in English) but actually, it made me think of a form created with the blend mode of Illustrator and I am trying to combine a set of shapes created with photos.

The principle is simple, just create shape with the blend mode to import it in Photoshop, I often use the filter (wave) to give a different look to my form in order to mix best with my photo, and sometimes the liquify tool helps to work out the details, then I use the gradient map to give the colors, sometimes several different layer color mixing.

I actually forget an essential step, the sketch, I always make one before I begin the composition, that give a really good way to follow for a work like this one, using abstracts shapes. I spent about 2-3 hours by artwork, depending if the combination work easily or no.
