Multiplicity is a photography technique in which the same person is photographed from different angles and directions and then the bunch of photographs are digitally re-mastered in Photoshop showing clones of the person doing different things all in one photo.
Today we present 35 Surreal Examples of Multiplicity Photography to inspire you. Photography and Photoshop go hand in hand. Multiplicity Photography is the real test of your patience as you may have to work for hours to get the right shots mainly because of different angles, props and clothes used in pre-production. And finally when you have the images, you have to work on different techniques (blending, layering, curving etc) in Photoshop to paste all the images in one single photo. Enjoy.

Great collection

whoaugh ………..
Wonderful, how much fun is this!
Camera, Photoshop, fun!
Some really good pieces! Now I want to go straight to Curry’s and buy that damn Nikon D90 DSLR camera to make some wicked Photos!
D90??? No way man, is a piece of crap! Go for D300!
you are aware that the d90 and d300 have literally the same exact image resolution, megapixels, sensor size, etc..right??
I would recommend a lot the sony alpha 600 guys, but it’s only a suggestion.
D90 rocks. It feels solid.
Very true
very fun thanks a lot
Schizophrenic.

If you want to see some cool multiplicity photos check out Cameron Jinks, these photos where taken over 3 years where he gained weight, lost weight and changed his facial appearance.

So you shot a base plate image, then individual shots and then photoshopped them in. Big whoop. If the concepts were more interesting, i.e. told some sort of story or had some sort of point, I could look past it. But there is nothing more here than technique, and not a very original or difficult one.
lolool… so many ideas. so awesome.
Superrr! I copied some photos and I will save them :)

These were unbelievable. Would love to be able to produce such amazing photos, but just have a little point and shoot.
I dont usually do a lot of commenting but why not do a slightly shorter list and weed out some of the ones with the really crappy photoshopping jobs. It would keep the list hq, not just having every example one can find.
Wow, too many people. And most (all?) aren’t even Chinese.

This is so much easier than you think.

Third time I had ever used PhotoShop: Beginner.
Tutorial I made for my brother: http://bit.ly/98nSBO
good luck!
leave me a question on the YT page if you want.
Wow those are indeed surreal. I love the first one very creative idea using the mirror image! I wish I was talented enough to come up with these types of things on my own but now that I’ve seen some of them I might give em a try just to test out my own photography and editing skills.
I have made this one, UP :) …..
I am a bedbug and I find this rude.
This was already done to death a decade ago.
These are always fun. I did it with my son a while back.
