There is something about double exposures that is fascinating. These are good. There are really two ways to play this game. In the darkroom and in the camera. I will be curious to hear what happens next! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Søren! I agree with you on the way to create them. Most double exposures created digitally are usually way to clean and perfect for my taste. I like the aspect of chance and that they are not perfect.
Your photographs are like storytellers! I love your combination of nature and architecture. I'm fascinated with double exposure and have been playing around with windows/mirrors/reflections recently to illustrate self-portraits of my alter ego.
Such a cool project, Susanne! Tom and I did something similar passing a digital camera back and forth between us, but this is on a whole other level. So much serendipity and fun here - must have been a thrill to get the film developed.
Passing your camera sounds fun too. It would have been a bit tricky for us though! 😉 and yes, waiting for the film to come back from the lab was like waiting for Santa Claus. And when the day finally arrived I was super excited.

The amazing challenges in creativity are endless. Putting two creatives together--creating a singular vision. Instinctive creative alchemy! Talk about the ultimate in creative serendipity! Experimentation is the ultimate learning tool. Gotta love it. Here's a link to one of series of double exposure experiments of mine back in the day. https://substack.com/@photokenarts/note/c-66760478
Thank you for sharing, Nelson! And I absolutely agree that challenges and collaboration are endless inspiring. I never quite understand when artists see each other as competitors or even enemies.
I think these are terrific and very interesting visually, no matter the perhaps wonky superimposition. Please see my comment about my experience making double exposures of music student performances which I just put in Perfect Light's Substack about your collaboration - which I read before this one.
How fun! I know of a photographer in Atlanta who did the same thing but I have to say, the Irish and German version is much more provocative. Thank you both for showing us your collaboration!
very interesting results, great collaboration! can't wait for the next step
Yes!
The unintended effect is a mightily successful happy accident indeed.
I totally agree. Turns them almost into diptychs.

The one with the hand! So good
Thanks, Stefania!

Thank you, Caitlin! Reflections can be quite interesting too. Interpreting them the way you do it sounds interesting.
what an inspired way to collaborate with a beautiful outcome. thanks for sharing
Thank you, Linda!

I saw your photograph in Notes the other day and loved it. I felt remembered of Duane Michals a bit. Great work!
btw, in case you missed the other half of collaboration:

Thank you, Marian! I read your comment and replied to it! 😊
What a great idea for collaboration - I'm looking forward to seeing the colour work!
Thank you, Lin! I hope they will turn out. We haven't finished them yet!
Brilliant 💜
Thank you, Beth!

I have done this before and the outcome depends on all kinds of things. It’s good to hear you enjoyed them.
Wonderful collaboration! 👌👍
Thanks, Ronald!
