I recently had the pleasure of visiting Kuwait. I had no expectations of what this country might offer but I was blown away by it's beautiful reflections. #photography #kuwait
A reflection of a window. The golden sheen of the window colors the reflection in a beautiful golden light. The reflection shows a local neighbourhood in Kuwait. A reflection of a date vendor. Various dried fruits such as dates and products like molasses and tahina are being sold. The picture was taken at Souk Al-Mubarakiya. A reflection of an escalator. At a small mall in Kuwait the yellow side of the escelator reflects the book shops. A reflection of two photographers. During a small photowalk throughout a neghbourhood in Kuwait a quick selfie was taken. The reflection of the blue glass door shows two photraphers on the hunt for shots. The door has golden handles and features ornaments.

I came across this pathway in Tokyo and noticed how it nicely framed the famous Skytree tower in the center. To me it symbolizes that every single person is on their own path towards the top to achieve their own goal... and sometimes you get a nice picture out of it.
A black and white picture of the famous Skytree Tower in Tokyo. The tower is in the background in the center of the picture. In the front of it are pathways that diagonally zig-zag upwards. The people all follow the path to get to the top. A single person stands directly in the center of it facing the tower. The picture symbolizes the path of life that people take to achieve their goals.

One morning I went outside to take some pictures of cherry blossom trees when I saw this man taking pictures. Below him was a heron hiding. I like to imagine that they had a long rivalry where the man's sole purpose in life was to take one good picture of this heron. Maybe one day he will succeed.
A photographer standing on a bridge taking a picture. Only his back is observable. Below the bridge a small river and a heron covered in shadows is standing in it. The wings are kept close to the body, so the picture gives the impression that the heron is hiding from the man. In the background are traditional Japanese buildings with blue roof tiles. The picture was taken in Kyoto, Japan.

I almost didn't take a picture of Sensō-ji at night because I expected it to look a bit boring. My girlfriend convinced me to give it a try and we decided to return to it one more time. What a great decision! It looks almost like it was rendered by a computer. #tokyo #photography #nightphotography
The famous pagoda of Sensō-ji in Tokyo at night. The vertical photograph displays the pagoda in all of its glory with striking red coloring. The lighting makes it look like something out of a sci-fi movie. The red pagoda, combined with the golden details against the blue sky give the impression of a futuristic monument. In the front you see the rooftops of smaller buildings with additional lighting.

I came across these five people shortly after I arrived in Osaka. I fell in love with this scene the moment I realized that it depicts various stages of eating food. It also vaguely reminded me of the famous Lunch atop a Skyscraper picture.
#photography #streetphotography #osaka #japan
Five young salarymen sitting on a concrete bench. Behind them is a tiny pond and some trees. They are all eating their lunch. The captured moment shows all five of them in various stages of the eating process. One is grabbing a napkin, one is eating some sushi with chopsticks, one is savoring their onigiri, one is looking into the distance and one is staring at his food. They are all dressed in similar looking suits. The color scheme of this picture is warm and slightly yellow tinted. A casual lunch day with colleagues. The picture was taken in Osaka, Japan.
