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.

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.

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.

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

Hong Kong taxis are everywhere, weaving through traffic, honking impatiently and occasionally forcing pedestrians into dance moves to avoid being flattened.

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.

Living in Hong Kong taught me to see the city in layers, literally and figuratively. Nightfall transforms it: neon signs bouncing off wet streets, skyscrapers lit like constellations, and people flowing through roads and alleys like living brushstrokes.

How I discovered multiple exposure photography, a creative playground where mistakes turn into magic, chaos becomes beauty, and every experiment pushes the boundaries of imagination
