Soft Pastel Summer Vibes: Sandy Beaches and Waves


 A tranquil scene in a chaotic world. 

I love this view of the waves crashing into the shore in the later afternoon, where you see the sunlight directly reflecting on the water, creating these cool textures and effects, making it look 3D almost. 

I wanted to give this a soft, pastel feel where it feels light and airy like summer and in the comforting light turquoise and pinkish beige hues, so I adjusted the colors a bit giving it a more warmer tone.

One-Way Color Tunnel: When Light Strikes, Colors Explode


This stunning One-Way Color Tunnel, created with a mix of mirrors and glass panels by Olafur Eliasson's, glows in various shades of blue, pink, purple, green, orange and yellow shades depending on where you stand and your unique perspective. 

The time of day and the amount of light streaming into this Oculus Bridge at San Francisco MOMA changes the color arrangement, making this art installation a transformative experience each time you step into it.

Glow in the Dark: Sandy Mountains in Nature


A perfect capture of the surrounding sandy dunes and greenery at the beach. 

I really liked how this image looked and was amazed by the texture and the variety of hues within all the green--so I decided to alter the image a bit giving it a more green-blue glow and adding some light purple colors to the sky. It has this nice glow in the dark look and feel while still letting the specific parts of the mountain park stand out on its own.

Light Up Chinatown: Lanterns Shine on Grant Ave at Night

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.

Strokes of Art: Abstract Imagery Comes to Life


Teamlab Continuity Part III: As the crows descend from each of the rooms and make their rounds across the floor, trails of light begin to follow. These bright, abstract, calligraphy-like strokes of light resemble splashes of art. The colorful red roses surrounding it gives that extra burst of color.

Flow of Water in the Room: Tranquil Lights + Roses


Teamlab Continuity Part II: You experience so much energy yet so much tranquility in this special exhibit at Asian Art museum. From different imagery displaying across the screen and sounds of nature vibes from all over, this is everything you've ever dreamed of.

As the fishes began to escape from one room to another, we watched as it danced from wall to wall and continued quickly through the floor, flowing fluidly like water in super clean strokes. It was so cool capturing this, with the flowers in the surrounding background.
