Tall towers press in along the Brisbane River, their glass faces hard in the midday sun. The river keeps its slow curve, holding a quiet question about what we build and what we erase.

The towers rise in a tight cluster on the riverbank, their glass and concrete surfaces catching sharp highlights and deep shadows; the river curves through the frame as a softer, reflective band, with scattered clouds above, suggesting a quiet tension between the hard lines of the city and the slower movement of water and sky.

“Drawing Circles with Light”

Sometimes photography becomes a dialogue between light and motion.
After capturing the stillness of Spoorpark, I decided to try the opposite — movement. With my Canon 5D Mark IV and the Sigma 24–70 Art still set to ISO 3200 and a 6-second exposure, I aimed for the Westpoint Tower and began to draw circles with my camera.

In those few seconds, the static lights became fluid — ribbons of color swirling through the darkness. The sensor recorded every trace of that movement, translating intentional motion blur into something new: a painted rhythm of photons and time.

It’s fascinating how a simple circular gesture can turn structured architecture into abstract light art — proof that photography isn’t only about freezing moments, but also about exploring what happens when we let them flow.

Photography, after all, is just another way of studying light and life.

Spoorpark by Night

Around 20:30, the park was almost empty, the air still, and the city quietly humming in the background. The scene was too dim for handheld photography — the light levels had dropped well below what 1/250 could handle. So, I set my Canon 5D Mark IV on the ground, attached the Sigma 24–70mm Art, and switched to a 6-second exposure at ISO 3200. A 10-second timer prevented any vibration from the shutter press.

In that brief span, photons from dozens of small light sources — streetlamps, strings of decorative bulbs, reflections off distant buildings — converged on the sensor, translating an invisible trickle of light into structured data.

Photography, in essence, is the science of collecting light, one moment at a time. This image is what those six seconds of light looked like, seen through the calm of Spoorpark at night.

I’m exhibiting! As well as drawing and illustration I also take photos. One of my photos will be exhibited in the “Urban Light” exhibition, at AIA Carnival, Central Hong Kong. The exhibition runs this week until 14th February

Bathed in the November sun, a lone tree stands sentinel by a restaurant tucked under the train tracks in Nagoya. The light weaves through its branches, casting a silver glow on the scene, an ephemeral sparkle against the timeless dance of shadow and light. 🌳☀️🚉

11月の午後の日差しが名古屋の線路下のレストランのそばに立つ木に当たります。光はその枝を通り抜け、場面に銀色の輝きを投げかけ、影と光の永遠のダンスに対するはかないきらめきを演出します。🌳☀️🚉

The photograph captures a moment where the afternoon sun illuminates a tree adjacent to a restaurant, which appears to be located beneath the elevated train tracks. The sunlight highlights the textures of the tree and the building, creating a contrast of light and shadow that evokes a quiet, contemplative atmosphere.
