Since 2009 Kevin Meredith aka Lomokev has been shooting a series of montage portraits. Each one consists of five photographs overlapping each other. The majority of the portraits were shot for Brighton Source Magazine’s street style section between 2010 and the end of 2013. Unfortunately since the beginning of 2014 Source is no longer published so he no longer trend spotted for them but continued to shoot them for his fragmented portraits Tumblr. He was inspired to shot portraits like this after seeing Bernhard Winkler shot portraits in a similar way at the Lomo World Congress in 2002 although he did not shot his first until 2009. In late 2013 photographer @PhotoAnton shot a short documentary on the subject of the portraits.  (See movie below)

The above by simon.G.man Street photographer Emi 2018 uses four photos edited in Affinity photo with a vignette added to each frame before layering, replicating lomokev’s style.
