double exposure
Two images overlaid
Double exposure is a photographic technique where two images are superimposed on the same frame, creating a layered, ghostly effect.
Originally achieved by exposing film twice before advancing it, the technique now has digital equivalents.
The term extends to any deliberate or accidental overlapping of images: The double exposure made her face appear transparent against the cityscape.
