• Can I do multiple exposures with my Simple Use Reloadable Film Camera?

  There is no multiple exposure button on our Simple Use Reloadable Film Cameras. After taking a photo the shutter button will be locked until you advance the film wheel for the next exposure. However it is always possible to find ways of making multiple exposures.

• What is a film swap?

  

  A film swap is when two people shoot the same roll of film to create combined images (or double exposures.) The first person shoots the film, then rewinds it and gives it to the second person, who will shoot the same roll of film again, creating images over the top of the first layer.

• What is a multiple exposure?

  

  Multiple exposures (or MX) are photographs in which two or more images are superimposed in a single frame, and they’re super easy to create using your analogue camera. Set an image of a train against a field of flowers, or prop your friend’s face against an image of a city skyline to create enchanting and surreal images.

• Which Lomography cameras can be used for multiple exposures?

  Most Lomography cameras have the ability to make multiple exposures. At Lomography we know how integral experimentation is, especially when it comes to creating awesome multiple exposures, and we’ve got you covered with our wide range of MX enabled cameras.

• What are the best film cameras for creating multiple exposures?

  Most Lomography cameras have a Multiple Exposure button or switch, easily recognisable by the MX icon.

• How can I shoot multiple exposures with my LomoGraflok 4×5 Instant Back?

  Taking multiple exposures with the LomoGraflok 4×5 Instant Back is quite an easy process. Just follow these simple steps to master the technique:

• What is EBS?

  

  EBS is short for Expose Both Sides, which is a technique in analogue photography wherein you do just that. You first load and shoot your film like you normally would. Once finished, remove and reload the film, but this time with the opposite side of the emulsion facing towards the lens. The EBS technique produces redscale-like, otherworldly double exposures.

• What are the best techniques for taking multiple exposure photos?

  

  Multiple exposures are one of the best ways to push your creativity with film photography. Here are a few techniques to help you take your photos to the next level.

• How many exposures can I make on one frame?

  

  There is no limit to the amount of exposures you can do in one frame. (As long as you have a camera that enables multiple exposures of course)

• How to do multiple exposures with an instant camera?

  Lomography Instant cameras have a multiple exposure button or switch (labelled MX). This allows you to expose one frame as many times as you like, easily creating incredible layered effects.

• What is the best type of 35 mm film for double exposures?

  Multiple exposures can be made with any type of film, but we recommend using black and white or color negative rather than E-6 slide film because it has a wider exposure latitude, meaning it can handle over or under exposure very well.
