20 Woven Double-Exposure Portrait Manipulations by David Samuel Stern

David Samuel Stern woven portraits combine photography, abstraction, and geometric pattern through digital post-production. Stern uses Adobe Photoshop to interlace multiple views of a face, producing mosaic-like images that appear to shift between several expressions at once. The technique does more than decorate the portrait: fragmented eyes, mouths, and contours create a layered identity that viewers must visually reconstruct. This gallery presents 20 double-exposure portrait works built around that tension between recognition and interruption. Browse David Samuel Stern woven portraits to see how repeated photographic strips can preserve a sitter’s presence while making the image feel unstable, secretive, and newly assembled.
