Double exposure is a technique used in film photography, which consists in superimposing two images when shooting or when printing. To achieve double exposure is simple – you need to press the shutter twice without scrolling the film after the first shot. When used correctly, very interesting shots are obtained. 

In digital cameras, when shooting double exposure, it can be achieved by repeatedly using pulsed light during a single exposure or during subsequent processing of frames by graphic editors.

To get the desired effect, it is recommended to use a tripod and take into account the peculiarities of lighting: the worse it is, the better.
