Architecture

It all started in Shanghai—of all places, a city that feels like it’s perpetually leaning into tomorrow. I remember standing on the Bund for the first time, utterly transfixed by that skyline: steel and glass stretching toward the clouds, reflections dancing on the Huangpu River, the light shifting by the minute. Those buildings didn’t just stand there; they spoke—a dialogue between past ambition, present motion, and some imagined future.

That moment lit a fuse. Architecture photography became my language from then on, a way to trace the stories that cities tell through their structures. I found myself drawn not only to the grand façades but to the quiet details—the weathered texture of stone, the curve of a staircase, the rhythm of windows catching late-afternoon sun.

On my site, you’ll see that journey unfold. From centuries-old cathedrals that seem to exhale history to ultra-modern towers that gleam like visions of what’s next, my goal is always the same: to capture how architecture breathes within its surroundings. Buildings, after all, aren’t static—they’re mirrors of who we are, what we value, and how we dream.
