Get Inspired! 20 Captivating Double Exposure Photos Taken with Cell Phones

Dec 8, 2011 09:39 PM

The technique of creating double exposure images allows viewers to peer into a unique world, away from reality. The results of combining multiple images into one can really be quite amazing. In this week's Phone Snap Challenge, we want to see your own take on the double exposure effect. Create your image with your cell phone and post it to the corkboard by Monday, December 12th at 11:59 pm PST for a chance to win a paper pinhole camera kit.

To help stir up some inspiration for your own submission, here are 20 wonderful double exposure shots created by various Flickr users—shot with cell phones only, of course!
