High five,
Due of the fact I’ve been staying away from the Specialization, I would be extremely grateful in having your help to learn to make a double exposure from 2 photos, one double exposured with different shadow, opacity.
The second pic with lower opacity, the accent on the exposure the faces in a cool way.
I would be grateful to have someone “teach” me how to do this.
Example pic with no color attached too.

Not sure if this is what your going for.

It's a color blending technique where I turned off each photos red channel in a layer style (advanced blending)
I then lowered the 2nd Photos opacity to 49%.
Added a black and white adjustment layer and adjusted to taste.
Note: I did re-position photo 2 using free transform.

Big up, huge thanks. I’m curious what does it look like in colored version. Any help appreciated.
 
Sorry, I didn't see your response. I thought you wanted the black and white effect so I showed the easiest way for that. I don't know why no one else didn't chime in here.

This is just a very simple layer mask on the "photo 2" layer. Then lower the opacity. If you want to lighten or darken, just add a Curves adjustment layer and clip.

If you want to have a different background, just mask out photo layer 1 as well and add a new bg.

You can make any number of alterations.

Here I have added a grey colored bg and lowered the photo 1 layers opacity for a more ghostly effect. I also lightened photo1 by clipping a curves adjustment layer.
