07 Repeating illusion

Add your shot to a camera screen for a repeating effect.

This Inception-style image of a frame within a frame is easy to create, whatever the scene. You’ll need two cameras – one as a prop and one to shoot the image with.

Once you’ve taken a starting image of the back of your camera, it’s easy to add another image onto the camera screen.

Here, photographer Louis Stacey First duplicated the layers in Photoshop, then used the Pen tool and Layer Mask to cut out the camera screen. With the duplicate layer underneath, he resized the image so that you can see more of the camera on the screen.

NEVER ENDING Adding the same image inside the screen creates the illusion that it repeats forever.
