multiple-exposure
Overlapping photo technique
Multiple-exposure refers to a photographic technique where two or more images are superimposed on a single frame, creating layered or ghostly effects.
The term also describes the resulting image: a multiple-exposure of the city skyline at different hours.
In figurative use, it can describe any layered or composite impression: Her memory of that summer was a multiple-exposure of beaches, arguments, and long drives.
