A fleeting moment caught in the mirror of a parked Vespa—urban architecture, blue skies, and a woman deep in conversation blend into a quiet urban scene.
A study in layers, light, and reflection, where everyday life becomes art through the lens.
Shot in Ghent, Belgium.
A fragment of city silence — where a patch of green rests against hard concrete.
Street photography not about people, but about the quiet tension between nature and urban bones.
Shot in passing, seen in a glance of a moment.

Фрагмент городской тишины — клочок зелени, упирающийся в холодный бетон.
Стрит-фотография не о людях, а о тихом напряжении между природой и костями города.
Снято на ходу, замечено в мгновении момента.
Tall buildings catching the last light of the day. The sky is clear, the shadows are long, and the city starts to quiet down. There’s a calmness to the scene, even with all the glass and steel. Just a simple look up in the middle of the city.
nothing moved. not even the smoke. it just floated out of the dark like an answer nobody asked for. winter, stillness, valencia.
A worn-out high-rise stands as a silent witness to time and neglect, now draped with a massive ad selling beauty, luxury, and modernity. The polished face of the model, flawless and glossy, starkly contrasts the stained, aging concrete. It’s not just urban contrast — it’s a visual metaphor for what we cover up, and what we choose to highlight in a broken system?
While capturing this scene in the streets of Hanoi, I wanted to seize this daily dance between tradition and modernity. The street vendor, protected by their transparent raincoat and sun hat, stands out against a wall of urban graffiti - this visual collision is precisely what I was looking for. I chose black and white to transcend the anecdotal and reach for the universal: the daily struggle, the dignity of work, the persistence of traditional ways in a rapidly modernizing world. Waiting in the rain for the precise moment when the vendor would cross the pedestrian crossing, I wanted to create a composition where the lines on the ground, the bicycle's silhouette, and the geometry of the metal shutters would structure the image while leaving room for the poetry of the moment. It's a tribute to these invisible workers who keep Hanoi's heart beating.
一棵古樹在城市的十字路口佇立，陽光穿透枝葉投下深邃的影子。黑白影像中，樹影與人影交錯，彷彿訴說著時光流轉下的寧靜與變遷。
An ancient tree stands at a city crossroads, its branches casting profound shadows as sunlight pierces through. In this black-and-white frame, the intertwining tree shadows and human silhouettes speak of quietude and change under the passage of time.
This photo captures a stunning view of Paris, highlighting the contrast between the classic architecture of the foreground, including a distinctive domed structure, and the sleek modern skyline of La Defense in the background. Taken from The Centre Pompidou modern art gallery, this image showcases the blend of historical and contemporary elements that define the city.
The Steintor U-Bahn station in Hanover features a distinctive architectural design created by the Milanese designer Alessandro Mendini in 1997. This station is known for its bold black and yellow checkerboard pattern, which creates a striking visual impact. Mendini's design consists of two narrow, identical structures facing each other, with a passage opening in the middle. The roofs are topped with yellow pointed hats, further adding to the unique appearance of the station (Source: regiopia.de + + + regiopia.com).
