Have you ever wondered how Mr Malique creates his clones? Well, I’m here to teach you how to clone yourself just like Mr Malique does it!

Yeap, for my maiden post on this blog, I’m gonna do an in-depth tutorial on how to create your own clones, using Adobe Photoshop.

Here’s a list of tools you will need to be able to do this tutorial along with me.

1. A digital camera. You got a spankin’ brand new DSLR like Yanni’s Nikon D80? Great! You got a point-and-shoot consumer camera? No problem too! What? You want to use a film camera? Erm… Possible… But will be more than doubly troublesome. Let’s keep things simple and I shall assume you own/can borrow a digital camera.
2. A tripod. A must. Okay, not exactly a must, but it will make things so much easier. Easy is the keyword in this tutorial, okay?
3. Adobe Photoshop. Any version will do, as long as it supports layer masking. I’m not familiar with other programs, but if the graphics program you’re using allows you to mess around with layer masking, you’d probably be able to adapt the steps here to fit that program.I shall be using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended.
4. Of course, you will need a computer. I shall assume you have access to one since you’re reading this entry. Mac or PC, whatever your choice may be, it will suffice. Personally I use a PC.

But before we begin the tutorial proper, I am going to have to assume several things about you:

• You have taken photographs before, and know the basics of your camera, for example, how to take a correct exposure and how to set the timer.
• You have used Adobe Photoshop before, and you know what layers are.
• You know how to use your computer, whatever the flavour may be.

Now that all that is over, let’s get started!
