Double Exposure: Street Portrait and Midsummer Field Grass

Creating abstract images is an essential part of the creative process. Not all photography needs to be clean and literal; sometimes, it's good to experiment and play. This image combines a street portrait of a woman waiting for the bus with tall, midsummer field grass. The resulting black-and-white double exposure produces an ethereal figure stepping out of a white field, capturing a sense of surreal beauty. If you turn on its side, you can recognize the field of grass. 

I capture images of field grass throughout the summer because it is mesmerizing. If you look at a field of thigh-high grass long enough, it starts to resemble an inland sea with waves and tides in the breeze.
