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.


Australia: new cities and familiar obsessions
In summer 2024 it was the first time I visited Australia (…well, of course just a tiny part of it…). It happened for a combination of circumstances that I am not going to explain here, but let’s just say it was not one of those trips planned months in advance with a clear purpose. It was more of a decision that took shape quickly, with just enough time to organize something reasonable.

Neon and noise: Creative impressions from Japan (Part 2)
A few months after my long weekend in Osaka, I found myself once again on a plane to Japan, but this time the destination was Tokyo, which I visited my first time in 2017.
Tokyo has been described countless times already and by much more competent people than me, so I’m not going to spend too many words to say what kind of city it is, its lights, shops, people making its streets so crowded, etc.

Neon and noise: Creative impressions from Japan (Part 1)
When I travel, I always try to push my photography a little beyond the classic tourist snapshots. This makes a good excuse to talk about Japan, a place that in some ways shares the same energy of Hong Kong, even though with different personality.

Crafting a storytelling through multiple exposure
Darkside dreams #1 (I know: the image above is not a multiple exposure, but read the article and you'll understand why I put it there ;) This time I want to explore how multiple exposure can become a way of telling stories. When one image settles over another, the frame turns into a small stage where different moments speak together. Creating a narrative often begins with a feeling: it might be calmness, sometimes chaos, noise, or a sense of mystery. Sometimes a theme guides

Painting with motion: finding stories through panning
There is panning…and then there’s panning combined with multiple exposure to push the whole idea to a higher creative level.
So, if with “simple” panning reaching the “wow” factor is already pretty damn hard, using it with multiple exposure multiplies not only the exposures…but also the failures!

Multiple exposure exercises to keep your imagination awake
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

Inspiring locations for creative photography: My top 5 spots in Hong Kong.
Over the years, a few of places in Hong Kong have become my constant sources of inspiration, places where I lost track of time, experiment without limits, or simply watch the city vibrating.

How Hong Kong’s iconic taxi became my creative playground
Hong Kong taxis are everywhere, weaving through traffic, honking impatiently and occasionally forcing pedestrians into dance moves to avoid being flattened.

Dancing with the rain (Hong Kong’s Blade Runner nights)
Rain in Hong Kong doesn’t arrive politely…it crashes into the city! One moment the streets are buzzing in their usual rhythm, the next they’re swallowed by streams of water. Most people retreat indoors, but I found myself doing the opposite.
