City Light Portraits
Inspired by classic Hong Kong cinema, City Light Portraits explores solitude and reflection under artificial light. The series focuses on contrast—soft skin tones against green-yellow street light, shadows shaping expression, and quiet moments in the middle of a sleepless city. Each frame feels cinematic yet intimate, balancing motion and stillness.

"This shoot show how subtle lighting can completely shift the feeling of a portrait. I spent time experimenting with green and yellow tones until they matched the atmosphere I imagined—moody, nostalgic, and alive at night."
