CLONE IN A CROWD

Make multiple clones and master essential layer masking skills in Affinity Photo with James Paterson

The ‘multiplicity’ effect is a fun way to combine several different portraits in one image, as you’ll discover in this issue’s video tutorial. It’s a great project to try out with your own set of images, and the shooting technique is very simple. All you have to do is use a tripod to keep all the frames in alignment, then shoot your subject in different positions around the frame. Keep the camera settings and lighting consistent throughout, and try out different poses. You can take it further by having your ‘clones’ interact with one another, or by experimenting with a shallow depth of field as we’ve done here, so that the figures behind our main portrait become more and more blurry.
