I'm not a super whiz at the camera (though my husband is a pro so I'm lucky to have a resource on hand!), but to make it look like people were disappearing, I did slow the shutter speed way down. That adds a lot of the motion blur to their movements. But really to make these photos, I set up my camera so it was perfectly still and took a bunch of pictures of people walking. Then, using artistic license :), I copied and pasted different scenes of people on top of each other, altering the opacity of each layer in Photoshop. I cleaned up the edges around the people so there's only one background you see. But basically these photos are layers of photos on top of each other. That gives the sense of frantic busyness and the opacity is what really makes them look like they're disappearing. I hope that helps! Jocelyn,

I love how you added storytelling to each picture as well! I'm kind of new to photography (even though I love taking pictures) and I take tons, I don't know a lot about different settings on cameras etc. I was wondering how you made it look like people were disappearing? Does that have to do with the shutterspeed? Hey this is an awesome post! I love how you added storytelling to each picture as well!

Such a unique way to capture life. We really do need to stop and breath more often. Also, that little shopping area looks so quaint and inviting. Love it! Such a unique way to capture life.
