in the heart of new york’s oculus, light weaves through steel like a modern cathedral’s embrace. two figures, grounded yet small, walk in the space, dwarfed by the sweeping curves and sheer height above. they move in unison, caught in the rhythm of this architectural marvel, each step mirroring the structure’s vastness around them.

holding hands, walking in sync.

their shadows follow, perfectly aligned.

I've been waiting to head downtown to photograph the latest @calatravaofficial sculpture "Constellation".

 

It's located at River Point Park along the Chicago River. Perfect.

 

There are endless possibilities when photographing this sculpture.

This night photography picture was captured in collaboration with Miklos Palko @PhotompNL.

 

That's the AFAS office building and cultural center in Leusden, The Netherlands. The modern architecture of the building is a true gift.

A surreal reflection of Reykjavik's landmark church 'Hallgrimskirkja" in a circular sculpture made of polished metal. The exterior design of the church is reminiscent of hexagonal basalt columns often found on Iceland's coast.

he moved slowly. his silhouette sharp against the concrete curves. the city’s embrace felt cold. quiet. only shadows watched him pass.

he was there but also not. his head vanished behind the concrete, leaving just enough to wonder who he was. or who he wasn’t. valencia, museo de las ciencias

Witness the sleek and upgraded Suzuki Jimny navigating the bustling cityscape of Berlin. This brand-new, grey-hued Jimny exudes a modern yet unique charm, adorned with impressive off-road enhancements. Against the backdrop of a vibrant city junction, the vehicle stands out, a blend of contemporary design and rugged capability. The school temperature colors add a touch of warmth, capturing the essence of urban adventure.

Walking around the Institut du Monde Arabe, I was drawn to how its famous facade catches the light. I wanted to isolate just one corner of the building against a dark background to highlight the intricate mechanical diaphragms that make this structure so unique.

By shooting from this angle and eliminating any context or sky, I tried to transform the familiar architectural landmark into something more abstract and graphic. The diagonal composition adds some dynamism to what would otherwise be a regular grid pattern.

What fascinates me about this building is how it merges technology with traditional Arabic design influences. These mechanical apertures aren't just decorative - they're functional elements that control light entering the building, inspired by traditional moucharabieh screens.

The subtle blue tones against the black background weren't planned but ended up enhancing the technical, almost sci-fi quality of the structure. Sometimes architecture is at its most interesting when viewed as pure pattern and texture rather than as a complete building.

Thanks for watching!

in the winter silence of magaluf, the lively chaos of summer fades into geometric stillness. this hotel, now in its off-season slumber, transforms into a study in symmetry. balconies once brimming with life become a surreal grid of repetition, broken only by the shadows that shift with the sun’s rhythm. it's a reminder of how places breathe differently when left to rest.

A solitary figure climbs the sweeping concrete staircase inside Tate Modern. The soft fall of light transforms the brutalist architecture into something almost sculptural. Geometry, texture, and human presence.

in the quiet of the early morning, this minimalist scene at a stainless steel pool invites a moment of reflection. the interplay of the sleek handrail, gently rippling water, and the clean lines of the pool deck creates a harmonious balance between form and function. the simplicity of the composition, captured with the hasselblad x2d, draws the viewer into a serene and introspective space. the image is a study in contrast and subtlety, where the man-made meets nature, and stillness becomes a canvas for contemplation.

through the lens, the lines blur between sky and architecture. here, at hudson yards, new york's vessel stands as a shimmering labyrinth of reflections and stories. the mirrored panels fragment reality, pulling the clouds down into the city’s heart while skyscrapers loom like guardians of an urban dreamscape. this frame holds a paradox: something massive, yet weightless; a place where the infinite sky touches the human-made grid. it’s not just a view, it’s an invitation to reflect—literally and figuratively.

a single figure suspended between form and light — paused in the hush of an architectural interlude. i waited for the silence to shape itself, for the shadow to become a sentence. in this moment, the weight of the world seems to dissolve into the pure abstraction of space. lisbon offered not just a scene, but a rhythm — carved in concrete and illuminated by grace.

in the stillness of an airport terminal, rows of empty seats stretch out like a quiet invitation, leading the eye toward the distant gates. the sleek, reflective floors capture a subtle play of light and shadow, while the ceiling tiles and lines create a rhythmic pattern above. two figures in the background add a sense of movement and purpose, their reflections hinting at stories of departures and arrivals. it's a moment caught between places — a brief pause in the journey, framed by the architecture of transit.

from the pavement of amsterdam, this building stretches upward, a monument to urban precision and cool elegance. its glass facade mirrors the shifting tones of the sky, like a canvas of reflection. the lines are sharp, parallel, drawing your gaze skyward, as if urging you to follow its climb toward the clouds. there’s something serene in its symmetry, yet a quiet power in its height. the overcast atmosphere softens the edges, making the architecture feel both immense and weightless at once.

Vista para a Casa de Chá da Boa Nova, em Leça da Palmeira.

 

A Casa de Chá da Boa Nova, situada em Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos, é uma obra emblemática do arquiteto português Álvaro Siza Vieira, concluída em 1963. Localizada junto ao Farol de Leça, esta estrutura foi construída sobre as rochas, a poucos metros da água, oferecendo vistas deslumbrantes para o mar.🌊⛪️

1939 GM Futurliner. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

captured in the early morning hours at hotel sonnwies in südtirol, this photograph is a study in simplicity and calm. with its crisp lines and gentle reflections, it transforms an ordinary pool into a space of quiet contemplation. the straight-edge railing slices through the frame, creating a sense of infinite depth and balance, while the stillness of the water evokes a moment of serene introspection. shot with the leica m11 monochrom and 50mm summilux f/1.4 asph, the image celebrates the beauty of minimalism in black and white, where every detail whispers rather than shouts.

the terminal at madrid-barajas is a cathedral for travelers. its ceiling, a flowing sea of warm wood and turquoise beams, catches the sunlight and bends it into art. the glass walls stretch endlessly, pulling the sky inside while the polished floors reflect lives in motion. people hurry, pause, and carry on, their stories written in fleeting steps and glances.

 

a mother cradles her baby, a child runs forward, and the world waits just beyond the gates. it’s not just a place to pass through—it’s a stage for moments, framed by architecture that breathes elegance and purpose.
