I visited Waverley Cemetery again to shoot another roll of film and introduce some movement to my images, with the intention of overlaying imagery of my friend Kate and creating a juxtaposition of life and death through stacking.
Had I not have cut and started developing negatives from my previous film roll, I would have liked to have tried to create double negatives - shooting a roll of film over the existing to create this effect.

My second attempt at stacking with different film negatives. I chose to layer the graves over one another to increase contrast, with the second image cast into the darker areas of the first.

I tried exposing the same stacked film negatives on matte/satin paper but reversed their order. This resulted in overexposure and too much light entering through the empty space of the second negative.

First stacked negative print. By flipping one of the negatives I was able to balance the exposure of the negative and allow the enlarger to expose the paper to more light in areas of the print. I was interested to try out stacking negatives to add to an ethereal feel to my subject. Through layering the negatives I was interested in exploring the juxtopositions that may occur in development.
When I was using the dryer in the darkroom my print got stuck, as another students test strips were lodged inside. This caused the print to fold in some areas, but added to the layering effect I hoped to create and gave the print an aged appearance.

Before stacking my negatives in the dark room, I did some more research on the technique and discovered the term was also referred to as sandwiching. “Sandwiching negatives allows for a photo that includes two different exposures in a single frame and it also requires planning before hand to be able to pull off. Sandwiching negatives is the process of taking two different negatives and stacking them up together before placing the film in the enlarger to be developed. This allows the enlarger to cast through the two negatives and project the new stacked image onto the photo paper. This has its advantages and disadvantages because while it allows for easier capturing of photos as they can be taken normally, and allows for some play in which photos to stack together, it also requires a way of backwards thinking and long exposure times in the darkroom when enlarging.  In order for something to show through another negative, there must be empty space on the negative that will allow light through. Simple enough, but then you must think of how negatives and exposures work. Because the negative is the opposite of the image you are printing, things that are black in the image will appear clear on the negative to allow the enlarger to expose the paper to more light. So, in order for sandwiched negatives to work, you must have the correct balance of black and white and realize that the second image will be cast into the darkest areas of the first only.” http://faculty.purchase.edu/michael.bell-smith/cwd_gte_2012/art/darkroomeffects/sandwich.html

I was interested to explore the process of stacking the film negatives to explore the nature of analogue film and effect of producing multiple layers, similar to the effect that is created through photoshop, but through a manual process - to further understand the material processes of shooting with 35mm and develop further skills in the dark room in relation to technique. I came across the idea of stacking 35mm negatives through Laina Briedis’ work. "There are a few ways to stack negatives to create interesting multiple exposure-like images. If you have a darkroom available for use, you can expose two negative/negative strips at the same time on the same enlarger (by stacking the negatives one on top of another), and with a bit of dodging/burning you should be set. For a similar effect using a slightly different darkroom approach, you can also expose the two negatives/negative strips separately onto the same piece of light sensitive darkroom paper. If you prefer a digital approach or don’t have a darkroom at your disposal, you can stack two negative strips one of top of another and using a flatbed negative scanner achieve some pretty cool negative-stacked exposures.If you’re good with Photoshop and would like even more control over which parts of your photographs are more prominent, you can even use two individually scanned negatives as separate layers. By erasing parts of one image, you allow the other image to show through more (creating a stacked-negative look). This I suppose would be like the digital equivalent of dodging and burning."
