I shoot in RAW and like to underexpose my shots in order to avoid blowing any highlights. There is a way to do multiple exposures in-camera, but this requires you to shoot one photo after another (which I, admittedly have never actually attempted.) For me, the creativity comes from being able to experiment with different shot/overlay combinations later in Photoshop.īelow are two SOOC (straight out of camera) shots that were taken the same evening. Typically, when I’m shooting for bokeh overlays, the bokeh shot and the base shot are completely separate. The key for me when shooting with bokeh overlays in mind is to create as black of a background as possible, which can also be adjusted in Lightroom by dropping the shadows and black sliders. Below is a favorite that I captured from that night. That image is what inspired me to create a bokeh overlay from rain being illuminated by a streetlight on the window. I have to give credit to Mindy and her incredible image of her little one in front of a rain illuminated window.

Since then I have created bokeh overlays from Christmas tree lights, bubbles, as well as illuminated rain on a window. I knew I had to try it out for myself, and needless to say I was hooked, maybe even borderline obsessed! I first discovered double exposures this past Christmas when my Instagram feed was flooded with magical double exposures from Christmas lights.
