Answer 1

Especially since you can see THROUGH the guy, this was probably done with a tripod and multiple exposures. Just set up your camera on a tripod. Take a meter reading and expose one frame (using the self timer) at about 1/3 the EV you get. Cock the shutter without advancing the film, if it's a film camera, and sit in a new pose and repeat. I say to use 1/3 because there are 3 superimposed images.

If you want, you can do it in Photoshop or similar programs, also. You have to learn about using layers and that's far beyond the scope of Yahoo! Answers. Let me just say that you still would use a tripd to be sure that nothing moved and then merge all three photos. To get the look you want, you would have to adjust the opacity of each layer.

First, you have to have a camera on a tripod or a static location that will remain the same. If you are going to do your own photography, your camera will need a timer (10 seconds or more) or a remote shutter device ... and if not those, a friend with a steady hand.

Once you have taken your multiple shots, your composite will all come together in Photoshop.

But the absolute easiest way is if you have a very nice camera that will take multiple shots on a single frame. Sony A100, for example, has a feature that will take 3 shots on one frame.
