Multiple Composite Images

My latest college project is called "Multiple Composite Images". A Multi-Comp Image is a shooting and editing technique that is often used by photographers to show a single model posing multiple times in a single image. Basically, a photographer sets up their camera on a tripod and manually sets every setting, including the focus. He then positions the model several times within the frame of the camera and takes a photo of the model every time they are repositioned. Then at the end of the shoot the photographer edits the image(s) so all the images are overlaid; he then removes strategic parts of the image so when the editing is complete you get this single image created from layered images that shows the model in various positions and poses. I planning to use this technique to document and compare emotions and personality traits; by having the model pose to show various emotions and then layer the images together to form a sort of spectrum or scale.

However, for my college project I must produce a Multi-Composite image taken on location with at least 1 model composed at least 3 times. This image must also be taken as an advert or promotional image for a charity. I will attempt to shoot an image inspired by some campaigns I have found based on Domestic Violence. But for now I will leave you with my first practice image.
