In-camera (mostly) double-exposure photographs. 200 days of them.

What I love most about double exposure—at least the way I approached it—is the unpredictability. In the film world, a double exposure meant taking a photo, not advancing the film, and then exposing a second image over the same frame. With my digital camera, I had only seconds between shots to layer my images before the function reset. There was no chance for precision, only intuition.

This process was pure trial and error—an approach that, for me, is at the heart of creativity. It required quick decisions, trust in the moment, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected. I did make a few digital composite double exposures in Photoshop, but they didn’t hold the same magic. Maybe they were technically better, but I didn’t feel them the same way. Ironically, my digital collage work relies on a similar layering process, but for this project, I needed the element of surprise.
