A Different View
Diversity at Mirador mansion - 54-56B Nathan Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong The mansion is next to another great mansion, the Chunking Mansions. Both inhabit an extremely cultural diverse group of people, many multi-coloured nationalities walk into the buildings every day. All carrying their phone and leaving a bit of 'them' onto not only the building, but also on the photo.
This series encompasses many things that seem normal in daily life and shows them (without the use of photoshop) in the way I as a photographer see them, in a different view.
Long exposure of a metal worker with an angle grinder - Hanoi, Vietnam
Alone in the light - Ha'hagana - Tel Aviv, Israel Sometimes you can be lonely in a gigantic city such as Tel Aviv, the amount of people form a wall [of light] and prevent you from getting to know an individual person.
The next few photos were part of an exposition on the University of Twente called 'Home'. It's now a permanent exposition. They portrayed a full day on the University which seems normal, but is portrayed in an extraordinary way.

The coloured lines are not edited in, they are the light that came from the phones that people had on them when walking in and out of the store, as well as any reflections on their clothing. The multi-coloured lines represent the diversity of the people coming to the University, and their addiction to smartphones.

Smelly Rivers
Rivers in Asia are usually heavily polluted with garbage, raw sewage, industrial waste and other things you probably don't even want to know. When I was living in Cầu Giấy district of Vietnam, the river could be smelled from my house. With almost no fish alive and so much ugliness, I decided to create beauty from the river and use long exposure techniques to create a stunning scenario. Every piece of sewage, garbage or anything floating around in the river will become a line with its unique colour. Sewage has a different colour than industrial waste or a dead water plant. Enjoy the scenery in theses smelly rivers throughout the world. Its a series in progress while I travel to more smelly rivers
Heavily polluted Sông Tô Lịch River, - Cầu Giấy District, Hanoi, Vietnam
In this river you see much more green (Which represent water plants), its less smelly but still polluted enough to create a wonderful pattern on this photo.
These two were taken at the cremation grounds of Varanasi, India - the river's name is the so-called 'holy' Ganges
Some call it gifts to a river-mother, others call it trash, but the fact is that a fortune of flowers and plastic is thrown in it by the devotees and normal people every day, leaving a colourful trail killing the river
Fishy river, Bangkok, Thailand
This is a long exposure of a river in Bangkok, the texture on the water are fish that jump up. There's 1000s of fish in that river jumping up for flies, or for whatever reason. I can't talk to fish so I wouldn't know. But it leaves a stunning image, because every time the fish jumps, the water reflects differently and it shows on the photo.
