Daniel Mountford studies graphic design and became very interested in the effects acchieved with multiple exposure photography. Most of his images are portraiture with animal or architectural elements. They have an other worldly and ethereal quality. He made a series of portraits called "The World Inside of Us". "Dan describes this series as “a visual journey through our minds by calm and tidy means which the reality of everyday life does not show.” He explores the use of double exposure in his photographs, successfully isolating parts of an image in camera with no help from our friend Photoshop. His images are captivating with their thoughtful execution and composition." (https://www.grainedit.com/2011/03/03/dan-mountford/)
I was particularly drawn to this image:
The monochrome pallet adds to the atmosphere of mystery to this image using the texture of planting for the woman's hair and hard paving to signify the shoulder. The architectural elements in the centre speak about the internal landscape of the mind and thought processes and the very geometric graph identifying the profile adds another interesting element to the image and makes me think about the synaptic neural pathways of experiencing and memory,
