The awe-inspiring facade of the world-famous Colosseum landmark.
As the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built and the largest standing amphitheatre in the world, this structure stuns from day to night in the middle of Rome.

So many replicas of the Eiffel Tower live all around the world, but nothing can compare to the real-life version in Paris.
One of the most famous basilicas in Paris, perched on top of the highest point of the city, offering sweeping views of the metropolis.
This distinct Romano-Byzantine style architecture stands out amongst the rest of Paris's cityscape and French roof designs and can be seen from various vantage points throughout town.
The glass and steel pyramid rises and shines in broad daylight and sparkles into the night.
The simple yet chic exterior architecture of St Louis Cathedral is worth studying. The shiny, metallic-like conical roofs and clean white walls create a crisp contrast.
The aligned carriages came at the right time and added the precise amount of color and balance to this picture.
Spending the afternoon capturing various viewpoints of Osaka Castle.
After being destroyed by two unfortunate incidents, this was rebuilt in the 1900s and is a modern replica of the former historical landmark.
Shibuya is well known for its scramble crossing, famed for the monstrous crowds of people crossing in five alternative ways.
From high above, everyone seems so miniscule, showing how small we are in such a vast, infinite world.
I altered this photo, enhancing the saturation and darkening it to add more of a fun, chaotic energy to the scene.
Pylon Lookout Part I: The color of Sydney Opera House continues to transform throughout the day from white to glowing yellow as the direction of the sun (or lack thereof) changes as the hours fly by.
One of my favorite captures is during twilight as the mostly cloudy sky absorbs some of the fading sunset colors and the lights begin to flicker into the evening.
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.
Porto has famous cobblestone steps, small streets and walkways, a mix of neutral and colorful (extremely narrow!) buildings, and we can't forget about those steep hills. On this particular pathway, I love the alignment of all the buildings and how perfect is is with the twists and turns of the street, leading up to the well-known Clerigos Church.
One of the most aesthetically beautiful Chinatowns ever with bright red lanterns adorning all the streets across this neighborhood. The sun decides to pop out briefly, lending some extra saturation to this day.
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.
Mission Dolores Basilica Church Part I: As golden hour became more and more intense just before the sunset, I admired the orange hued clouds from afar. These make the perfect backdrop against the famous church.
City Mashup Part II: Continuing to mix and match different skyscrapers from famous cities all over into one single image.
Inspired by Big Hero 6, I decided to do my own mashup with a range of skyscrapers at night, tweaking the background colors into a dark, midnight blue hue.
City Mashup Part I: What happens when you mash up a bunch of cities together?
I'm always just so fascinated by the visuals and the combined cities of San Francisco and Tokyo in Big Hero 6. Inspired by the colors and the combination of the two different cities, I decided to create an image with a bunch of well known skyscrapers from major cities and mix them all up together.
I wanted to create an otherworldly effect with the skyscrapers by adding in unique graphic effects to the rooftops of buildings, incorporating blue streams of lights going up in the sky, and altering the background colors with a blue tinted hue (as inspired by Perfume's Tokyo Girl MV.

A completely different vibe in Chinatown when you compare day vs night. As the sun begins to set, the lights in the buildings and the lanterns slowly turn on, glowing across all the streets on the touristy, ever-famous Grant Ave.
