Dance of the Seven Veils

By Harold Davis | Published September 24, 2014

When Salome danced for King Herod, there’s some controversy about the number of veils she used in her dance. But there is no controversy in these images: I created them with one beautiful woman and one piece of white fabric and in-camera multiple exposures on a black background. The composition was not changed in Photoshop, although I did routine cropping and processing, and added a texture.

You can see some of the other images I’ve made using similar techniques in these stories: Falling; Wheel of Life; Dance in the Rings; A Rorschach for MFAs and Multiple Exposures. Also check out the Multiple Exposures portfolio page of these images!
