Multiple Exposure - Definition

In photography, a multiple exposure is the superimposition of two or more exposures to create a single image. It is sometimes referred to as double exposure, which is when there are specifically two exposures made into one image. These can be made using in camera settings that impose a set amount of images together or through overlaying images in Photoshop.

Here is an example of a double/ multiple exposure image. You can clearly see that there are two exposures that make up this image; an exposure of the man and an exposure of the city, which have been imposed together to create the image.
