  4. He used two images and erased the background of one. I don’t see to much of a relationship, from what i see, his images are just a photograph of man vs nature. That individuals are similar to nature.
    They are comparing people to different things in nature.The result of bringing these two different images together is making a cool texture on unnatural things. They make me feel no certain way, I don’t think these photos are out of the ordinary or super creative, not very impressed.

  6. Imgrund achieved this look with double exposure. These photos fits the mood that the photographer is going for. Its very mysterious and surreal. It seems like he’s trying to create a photo that shows mystery with the landscape. Looks like he is trying to show pain in a different way. Comparing the person to nature and the wilderness. These images together creates mystery. My double exposure expresses the personality and hobby of the subject.

  8. The way the photographer was able to achieve this look was take two pictures and overlay one with the other to create a double exposure.

    These pictures work together as the foreground is black and white, while the upper layer is lighter.

    I think what the photographer is trying to say is that humans are like nature. That we are a product of the environment.

    The result of combining these images is creating different patterns, shapes within the people photographed.

    These photos make me feel intrigued, like how the comparison between nature and humanity works together so good.

    These photos are similar to our double exposure images, except they were done better than mine.

  21. I think that Imgrund got this look by using double exposure, i think he took two photos and then combined them by adding a blurry background. The relationship between the subject and the background is that the background is more in focus and clear, and the subject is more ghostly. I think Imgrund is trying to say that the person is connected to the nature around him. The person is one with his surroundings. They are comparing the person to lonely spots like forests and like lakes, full of solitude. The result of bringing these two images together is the effect of ghostly loneliness. They make me feel peaceful, and calm.

  22. I think Imgrund achieved this look by using double exposure with a camera and not with photoshop. The subjects in his photos are always humans and the background is always nature, specifically trees. I think Imgrund is trying to compare the people in his photos to nature and show how they are similar to each other. The result of combining the two photos is really beautiful. Imgrund’s double exposure images have a darker feel to them compared to mine but they also look a lot more professional and cleaner than mine do.

  23. by using a film camera and taking 2 images on a single film exposure. but also added the black and white so that the colors of both images do not clash. however i am not so sure of the relationship to the subject because from person to person the background image is still of a forest or trees in general but it may be trying to say that people are close to nature in that sense but i cannot see any specificity referring to the person but they do compare the person to the nature they are laid over or under. these images make me feel like theres alot of meaning to the image im not getting
