double exposure SERIES
Nathan Coe had long been shooting his beautiful Nantucket landscapes when he began to yearn for something more, a different way to tell the story of the beautiful island. Thus, his Nantucket Double Exposure Series was born.
Nathan was awakened to another way of capturing these landscapes when flying in a friend's eight passenger plane over Nantucket while observing how the curves of the shores resembled that of a woman's body. Seeing for the first time the femininity in the island’s coastlines, Nathan began to overlay contrasting photos of the female form to create one-of-a-kind ethereal images.
Nathan's passion for traditional techniques inspires him to shoot his Double Exposures with the end image in mind. Nathan shoots the two images needed to bring his vision to life precisely and then overlays them without cropping or manipulating them except with dodging and burning the exposure. This allows him to keep as much resolution as possible and to keep the process as organic as possible.
