Most photographers never find out this is possible.
How it works: the camera compares pixel brightness across two frames and keeps only the lighter values, blending them into a single file - in-camera, in seconds.
The layers are composited inside the camera in real time.
If your camera has a built-in multiple exposure mode, this tutorial is for you.
What's inside
A focused subtitled video walkthrough with real shooting examples - no slides, no overcomplicated theory.
Video length is 3 minutes 46 seconds.
How Comparative Light mode works
Understand brightness-based blending so you can predict the result before you press the shutter.
Shooting the first B&W layer
Silhouette technique, exposure decisions, and how much texture to retain in the subject.
Adding a color layers
How to switch film simulations mid-sequence and choose a second subject that complements the first.
Partial vs. complete fill
Two distinct creative outcomes and the brightness logic behind controlling which one you get.
Real results, explained
You'll see the final images alongside the shooting decisions that created them.

FAQ
The tutorial is filmed on a Fujifilm X-E5, but the technique applies to other Fujifilm cameras (X-Pro3 and newer) as well as any cameras with Multiple Exposure mode.
No. Everything in this tutorial happens in-camera. You press the shutter twice - the camera does the blending. The final image is saved as a single file, ready to use.
Yes. The tutorial skips the theory-heavy approach and focuses on the shooting decisions that actually matter - exposure, subject choice, and brightness logic. If you understand basic exposure, you'll follow it without difficulty.
