double exp exp

 Thinking about the size of my final photographs, I don't know what they will be yet, I would like to chose an appropriate size and to do that I will have to see what works. To try that out I would like to print these two images off in A1 as I think they would have an incredible effect at large scale rather than ordinary A4 or 6 x 4 photos.
I love this image, I took a good number of photo's of Dominika's hands and then played about on Photoshop to figure out which two would look good in a double exposure type image. The first image is her hand holding on to the other hand representing - holding on to something really tight, the second image is her hands on on top of another floating quite loosely - that representing the subtle feeling of letting go. I love that double exposure can tell these two stories in one image, rather than having an image of the hands when holding on and an image of the hands after letting go - I can have them together in one image, conveying an even stronger more beautiful message.
In one photo Dominika has her hand on the right side of her face and in another photo she has it on the left side, merging them together into double exposure creates the feeling of jittery movement and being undecided. Because some areas of the photo are blurred it suggest fast movement from one side to the other, the eyes not being quite lined up makes it look a little trippy.  Undecided/ on drugs?/speed?
