Amid the noise of the city, when you pause and look up at a corner, it feels as if a story unique to you is unfolding there.
Through the Lens, Reflecting Emotions
Photographing neon is perhaps more than capturing light; it is an act of capturing "feelings." Melancholy, nostalgia, and indescribable emotions seep into the photograph through the neon glow. When you look back at the photos, you may realize that even your past gaze has been preserved within them.
