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 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.
-
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.

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 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.
-
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.
-
What are the best ISO settings for creating double exposures?
Rate your camera’s ISO settings at double your film’s box speed to achieve the best results in your double exposures. For instance, if you are using an ISO 400 film, change the ISO settings on your camera to 800. This means you are dividing the exposure between your shots – two underexposed images produce one properly exposed image.
-
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.
