Ilford Delta 100 – Film Double Exposure B&W Street Photography

I have been out of ideas of what to shoot with the Contax G1 film camera and suddenly thought of doing a film double exposure on the Ilford Delta 100. I bought the film stock at a low price and kind of regret not buying more of this film stock because the high contrast results are excellent! It is my first experience shooting double exposure on film and also a film challenge I’ve set for myself. I was quite grateful that my film camera has this multi-exposure feature and shooting double exposure on an SLR film camera can be troublesome. I get inspired from a few of of my mirror reflection photos taken while testing out the motion picture film so I decided to start this double exposure project.

Check out my second multiple exposure experiment shooting with the Fomapan 400 film in Kuala Lumpur.

Based on my research there are certain film photographers out there who would do film swaps with other photographers to get the double exposure effects rather than shooting it alone on the same film roll. Well, at first I  have no confidence and thought that I won’t be able to achieve or create double exposure effects because it requires certain creativity but once you know the concept of how double exposure works, it shouldn’t be an issue anymore. It is all about the shadows and highlight areas. I did some research on YouTube the day before I went to the street to shoot this Ilford Delta 100 as my film double exposure project.

This is one of the photos that I like from this project which shows the first shot of a vintage portrait image with jeans on the wall and the second shot of a group of strangers. Once I’ve taken the first shot, I quickly find a black surface which is the man’s shirt in the photo.
