SUMMARY

Photographer Adam Gibbs showcases how to achieve abstract forest images using the in-camera multiple exposure technique on a Fujifilm GFX 100S. By taking multiple shots with slight camera movements between each exposure, Gibbs transforms forest scenes into abstract compositions, often resembling pointillism. He highlights the differences between in-camera stacking and post-processing in Photoshop, where opacity and blend modes offer greater control. Gibbs also explains how the direction and magnitude of camera movement significantly impact the final abstract result, emphasizing that the movement should align with the dominant lines of the subject.

TAKEAWAYS

In-camera multiple exposure creates abstract images by layering sequential shots.

Slight camera shifts between exposures, aligned with dominant subject lines, enhance abstraction.

Post-processing in Photoshop offers more control over blending and opacity.
