Dualphotography

In other words, it is the practice of creating a photographic scene from two opposing or complementary sides of a single real-world situation.

Dualphotography can be used to capture both the subject and the photographer simultaneously, or both sides of a geographical place at once, thus adding a supplementary narrative layer to that of a single image.

The term is seldom used in English, dualphoto has gained more popularity being easier to pronounce and understand in other languages too.

This technique effectively removes the space between the two cameras and creates a single scene between two geographical places with two photos being off-facing each other.

Modern smartphones with specific software can take dualphotographs, but hardware equipment, both digital and film-based can be found (usually custom built).
