This is one of the first double exposures I made. The view of the beach is in Crail, Fife which is where I was inspired to start the Lagoon project. 

Something in the angle of the beach image had me reaching for an old photo from a holiday in Budapest from a viewpoint overlooking the city. The space in the beach image framed the overlapping image well. 

I love the fun little detail of the woman’s hair wrapped in a bun, beside the domed roof of the building which has a very similar shape. The final dreamy result of this image is a city largely beneath the water. This is where the title, Atlantis, comes from.
