Urban Tides - Brazil
Coastline light shifts from salt to sugar: a barefoot surfer steps from foam to asphalt, a daughter and mother share a pastel stride, and a magenta cart exhales sweet steam into the night. Old towns still translate the young and the wise, invention and tradition, craft and faith—a life beyond black and white, always ending with a smile and a kiss.

Urban Tides — Los Angeles
Dusk folds in while the shoreline of Venice Beach becomes a stage for iconic coastal rituals: a tinsel tuk-tuk under the moon, secret guitar chords behind a loading dock, a neon “lighthouse” bike looping in music, a fisher crew gathers like family, a dog hijacking the skate bowl, and two skaters—pink-hoodie flyer and sun-kissed drifter—drawing their own orbits in concrete. Fragments of a culture first televised by MTV, still rewritten every night as the tide turns.

Bangalore Street Market
Amid the distracting chaos of Bangalore we find beauty and grace. Women wear their silk saris on the back of a scooter. And on the vibrant street market we are greeted with a smile - not just transactions, but moments of connection. These women don't just sell vegetables and legumes. They are sharing their world - full of character, rhythm and heart.

Urban Life: A Saturday Morning
A Saturday Morning in Hamburg. The Metro hums over the steel bridge of Sternschanze. Human softness meets the rhythm of the rails, and the patterns of urban grafittis. A tattooed figure brings home bread rolls, uplifted by the quiet wings of morning. A woman receives flowers wrapped in yesterday's news, framed by someone's empty coffee cup. The florist watches proudly, guardian of a corner filled with ordinary beauty.

Urban Treasures
The quiet charm of Northern California. In the heart of Silicon Valley, between innovation and ocean breeze, we find moments of peace and nostalgia. A vintage garage hums with stories. A lone tree frames the city skyline. The ocean presses gently against the weathered promenade wall. A tire rests under palm trees. Urban treasures of sand, steel and sea.

Silent Expressions
Traditions run deep, and that's what connects us to our culture, our faith, and ourselves. These photographs witness moments of ritual and identity, expressed silently in gesture, posture, and presence.
A brush glides across the cold stone. Each letter is masterfully crafted — and yet vanishes within moments, written only in water. Beneath an ancient arch, a guard prepares for the changing of the guard. In these silent expressions, something essential speaks to us.
