Susan Derges Derges was born in London in 1955, and is an English photographer. She studied painting at the Chelsea Collage of Art and Design for 3 years, she then went on to studied at the Slade School of Art for another 2 years. She then turned to photography where she explored different cameraless techniques, such as imprinting images directly onto photographic paper using either natural or artificial light.

Multiplicity The aim of this exercise was to have one picture with the same person occurring in the same picture. Before we started we were told to be careful as if the lighting dramatically it would show up along with making sure the background didn't change so I had to be careful with cars in the background. I started out by taking four digital pictures of my classmate posing in different positions each time. Once I did that I used photoshop to edit them making them all the same for example the exposure as some were darker than others. On photoshop i also stacked the pictures and created a mask layer for each one, this allowed me to use the erase tool and remove one of the Alex's and by pressing 'command I' it removed everything on that layer besides what i rubbed out, that left two Alex's i then continued doing this for each one until all the photos of him were on one picture.
