daily observations
Every day, I capture shots that document the diverse contexts, climates, and locales I encounter. This practice not only sharpens my technical skills as a photographer but also deepens my understanding of the world's rich tapestry. Whether it's the bustling streets of a megacity, the serene landscapes of rural areas, or the unique architectural forms that punctuate different regions, each shot tells a story. These daily observations allow me to see the nuances in light, color, and texture, fostering a heightened awareness of the environment around me.
What interests me most is the way these elements come together to form ideas and narratives. By observing daily life through my lens, I can weave together stories that reflect the human experience. It's about capturing the ordinary and the extraordinary, the fleeting moments and the lasting impressions. These observations serve as the foundation for my creative process, helping me to form narratives that are both compelling and thought-provoking. Through this constant practice, I aim to create visual stories that resonate with viewers, offering them a glimpse into the diverse worlds I explore.
202503 - A place of tranquility within the city. Focused on a world around by reading the news, but being on their own. Hong Kong

202501 - When a construction site becomes an abstract painting. Beijing, China
202412 - The rigidity, the organisation, the movement. But is downtown HK the right place to still have a harbor? Isn't there better use of the space? Hong Kong
202412 - A dash of color. Temporarily only. Once the scaffolding gets taken down it will be monochrome again like its neighbour Hong Kong
202411 - The light hits different on buildings under construction. Especially when all you see if a bare concrete skeleton. Shenzhen, China
202411 - City in the making. But will it ever be inhabited? One city only need that many towers no matter how they look like or how well designed they are. Shenzhen, China
202409 - There is something about highrises next to abundant nature. Its a recurrent fascination. Hong Kong has it as seen in Eden of the Orient, but Chongqing also has it. The 2 cities are more alike than one might think. Chongqing, China
202409 - Special appreciation if a building is a total concept. When landscape and roof plan are designed as one, you deliver a complete building. Taipei, Taiwan

202406 - Hong Kong is still unique in its urban / natural landscape. Hong Kong

202404 - Human interventions into the rough nature. Tibet, China
202404 - Finally upclose with Mount Everest. A bucket list item ticked. Its mighty, its stunning, its beautiful, its peaceful, its everything. Tibet, China
202403 - A chaotic let it go moment. Kathamdu is a fascinating place to explore. Kathmandu, Nepal
202404 - A new vantage point over an airplane. From above instead of from eyelevel. Not many places over this opportunity. The Sky Bridge at HKIA does. Hong Kong
202403 Monumental architecture is still made and inhabited by humans. Scale is everything. Singapore
202401 - My fascination with the generic, a bench in this case, was spiked when seeing this one in Taipei. It is undoubtedly a bench, but it doesn't perform the function of a bench. And that is fascinating. Taipei, Taiwan
202401 - View from the plane on the way to Beijing. The grid, the gradients in the snow, the criscrossing roads. (en route to) Beijing, China
202310 - When looking closeup at cities from higher up, there are similarities but also stark differences. Housing in Shenzhen is very different from housing in HK. Shenzhen, China
202310 - A view of Hong Kong that is steering to feel eerie. A view that shows HK is stuck in the past. Before when HK was a place with the need of a big harbour it made sense, nowadays it doesn't. A place like HK with all its housing issues shouldnt have a big harbour so close to the city. Hong Kong
