The marine station boasts scientists not only from Chile but also from various other countries including France, Germany, Colombia, and Peru just to name a few. My project will show the people who work diligently every single day to make the ocean and our world a better place through science and education, and this project will be completed using a unique technique known as “double exposure.”

A double exposure shot is a technique that can be achieved using an analog (film) camera. To create a double exposure, the individual’s portrait is photographed using a white background and then a switch tells the camera not to advance the film, and thus the next shot is overlaid on top of the previous portrait shot. The overlay is only seen over the face, leaving a white background and the overlaid photo within the outline of the portrait. I will be overlaying images of the ocean over their portraits to visually connect them with their work.
