"Urban Shadows" is a photography project that explores the poetry of everyday life through light, geometry, and human presence in cityscapes around the world. From the sun-drenched sidewalks of Sydney to the shimmering nights of Dubai, each frame is a fleeting moment shaped by shadow, scale, and movement.

This series celebrates the rhythm of the street—people caught between reflections, architecture, and light—transforming ordinary urban scenes into visual metaphors. With a focus on silhouettes and contrast, Urban Shadows captures the quiet drama and beauty of strangers in transit, inviting viewers to pause and see their surroundings through a more cinematic, contemplative lens.

Whether it’s a solitary figure cutting across a beam of light in Singapore’s sleek city core or the layered reflections of a crowd in downtown Vancouver, each photograph is a meditation on light, time, and the invisible stories unfolding all around us.
