Taking Over the World: The Glass Floor Effect

The enthralling details and glass designs at Harpa Concert Hall continue to inspire.

What if we convert the glass window panels into glass floor?

I manipulated this image by cloning and rearranging the glass panels to create transparent, angular floorings and an all over glass effect.

Modern Architecture: The Glass Stairs Effect

Stunning interior design and architecture can be found at the Harpa Concert Hall. The glass window panels give a modern, abstract, and futuristic twist to the scene.

I decided to manipulate the image by flipping it around and altering the position. All of the cool angles turn this into silver, shiny glass stairs (so why not just walk on it?)

Eye of the Beholder: Natural Twist at Populus Hotel

"A hotel inspired by nature."

This astounding, modern building stands out from the distance. From one point of view, it looks like a 3D paper cut-out coming to life. 

Using locally-sourced and recycled building materials, this sustainable hotel is making a serious difference on the planet and altering how we design for the future.

Contemporary Stairway at the Art Gallery of Ontario


Have to say this is the coolest museum staircase ever. 

I captured its magnificent angles, colors, and textures by zooming in and out, allowing the light to lead the way and transform the mood of each photo.

Harpa Concert Hall's Impressive Architecture & Design

Astonishing interior design inside at the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik. 

Shielding ourselves from the wind storm outside, we stand inside marveling at the one-of-a-kind art inspired by Iceland's geography, surrounded by layers of glass and basalt column outlines.

Faded Hexagon Art: Pastel Bubbles Background Effect

Fun background designs, faded effects, and soft yet bright, pastel colors continue to awaken our senses. 

I was inspired by the creative, painterly digital art from a manga and had to create my own rendition of it, infusing my favorite colors and blending in different textures.

Blue Rush: The Intricacies of Mission Dolores

Mission Dolores Basilica Church Part II: The golden hour (and the hour leading up to it) presents some of the best photographic moments. Buildings just look and hit differently depending on the lighting, the weather, and time of day. I love how this pic of the church looks like it's taken closer to blue hour and offers such a calming, chill presence. You can see the intricate details of the structure even more vividly during this moment.

Was enamored by the colors, the details, and the nature elements of the dome at the newly designed Oklahoma State Capitol.

The pastel colors, cirrus cloud paint strokes, and bold patterns make this a true vision to behold.

Skydance Bridge at Scissortail Park: Cutting-Edge Designs

Skydance Bridge Part I: Just keep on dancing and glowing. 

This one-of-a-kind art sculpture sits on top of a pedestrian bridge and can be seen on the freeway right below! An abstract creation that resembles a pair of scissors with a cool, cutting-edge look, adding to Oklahoma City's spectacular art scene. 

The vibrant orange color on this sculpture also gives striking resemblances to Tokyo Tower's orange-colored lights at night.

High Museum of Art: Interior Architecture & Reflections

The High Museum of Art may have a wide collection of historical paintings, but the interior and exterior design of the building is completely modern. The walkways present the right opportunity to capture the exquisite architecture from top to bottom. As the light continues to shift throughout the day, the reflections add an extra dramatic flair to the scene.

Colorful Houses in Singapore's Katong District

A super stormy, humid day couldn't stop my adventures in the Katong district as I explored the rows and rows of vibrant Peranakan houses. Pink, turquoise, orange, and golden shades create the perfect imagery and inspiration.

The neo-gothic style of the Palace of Westminster building is so well-made and remarkable across all corners and dimensions.

The ever-changing angles of light casts different glows, shadows and colors onto the building, creating epic photo opps from close up and from afar.

Salt Lake City's Ultra Sleek Public Library


Probably one of the coolest libraries I've ever seen. 

This public library in Salt Lake City has such a cool modern look and feel with plenty of glass everywhere, from the curved glass on top to escalators to staircases. Just remarkable all around.

The High-Tech: Denver's Modern Architecture + Design


I just love looking at all of the different convention centers across major cities. 

This was an extraordinary one with striking exterior design that looks even cooler at unique angles. It looks super high-tech, super sleek and fits right in at the booming Denver downtown area.
