Yesterday I searched in vain for a good Enlight app tutorial to learn how to make those cool double exposures I’ve been seeing everywhere on the internet.
I watched several videos, but couldn’t seem to figure out the first and most essential part of making the double exposures, so I’ve decided to make my own tutorial. Here you go. For these double exposures, I’m using my iPhone as Enlight is currently only available for Apple.

My bleeding head photo is more like a quadruple exposure with dripping blood added at the end. I’ll have to make a different tutorial for that one.

If that wasn’t enough, here’s an animated step-by-step video showing you how to make a fish man.
Interestingly, Polish entrepreneur, Marcin Osman, is sending me some Tom’s deodorant in exchange for creating the double exposures pictured above. You might know Marcin because he’s the entrepreneur who recently got Gary Vaynerchuk’s book in Polish bookstores. Anyway, Marcin and I are both in the Choose Yourself Facebook group and last night he saw my double exposure of James Altucher in the news feed. He asked if I could make one of him, and he was polite and asked me what I needed in return. I told him Tom’s deodorant (I hate buying essentials). He’s sending it to me as we speak. I finished about 5 different double exposures for him. I like to over deliver.
