Double Exposure Couple and Cat Over LA Skyline

This is a creative double-exposure photograph that composites two people — a man in a red plaid shirt wearing glasses and a woman holding a calico cat — over a sweeping HDR cityscape of downtown Los Angeles at twilight. The city skyline glows with warm artificial lights against a dramatic purple-blue clouded sky, with identifiable LA architecture including skyscrapers and what appears to be the Caltrans District 7 headquarters building. The ghostly transparency of the figures layered over the urban landscape creates a surreal, cinematic mood. The image was captured with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and processed with heavy HDR tonemapping, giving the cityscape a hyper-real, painterly quality that complements the double-exposure technique.
