Jewel Fiorillo's Accidental Double-Exposed Wedding Film Reveals Dog and Cat Overlays
Jewel Fiorillo, a self-taught photographer, recently posted on Instagram a roll of 35mm film that she unintentionally double-exposed during a wedding shoot. This incident happened while she was experimenting with a Canon AE-1 SLR camera from 1976, as she was not being compensated for the event. Fiorillo noted that errors are essential for growth in photography. The rewind button on the Canon AE-1 can be easily activated, leading to overlapping images. Her followers found the resulting blend of wedding moments and pictures of her pets entertaining, with remarks such as, "I would pay extra for this tbh." Double exposures can also be achieved with mirrorless cameras or through post-editing. You can view Fiorillo's work on her Instagram and website.
