Between
The Layers
Welcome to "Between the Layers", a blog where I explore photography as a way to capture more than just what’s in front of me.
Through layered images, inventive compositions and visual stories, I share what fascinates and inspires me, invites all of you to look at the world in a different perspective.


Capturing the vibe of a street market with multiple exposure
There’s an area on Hong Kong Island called North Point. Most people know it because of the so called “Monster Building” (infamous for some, iconic and instagrammable for people not living there). It’s a cluster of old residential blocks stacked so tightly together that they look like a single enormous structure.

Reading a building turning architecture into visual stories
I always liked the idea that buildings can be read. Not in a literal way of course, but if you slow down and really look at it, architecture starts telling you stories. You just need to learn how to listen, or better how to see.

Creative self-assignments to keep your eye trained
Photographers aren’t always inspired. There are days when ideas feel dry and everything looks ordinary through the lens. When this happens, I’ve found it helpful to give myself little missions and simple challenges that push me to look differently at the world.
These small assignments don’t just get me creating again, they help me rediscover the excitement of seeing, they are about keeping the eye trained and the brain alert. When I treat photography like a game it suddenly

Playing with surrealism: pushing the boundaries of reality
When I first started wandering the streets of Hong Kong with a camera in hand, I quickly realized that trying to freeze the city in a single, perfectly sharp frame felt limiting. The city never stops moving, and neither did I.

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM): how I (try to) turn motion into art
When I first started wandering the streets of Hong Kong with a camera in hand, I quickly realized that trying to freeze the city in a single, perfectly sharp frame felt limiting. The city never stops moving, and neither did I.
