2026 marks my 10th year of professional practice in architectural photography with Shiya Creative Studio.
What began as a long-standing fascination with light and space has gradually evolved into a sustained practice of documenting the built environment—its order, its contradictions, and its quieter moments. Over the past decade, my team and I have photographed more than 1,000 projects, each one an observation of how architecture shapes movement, mood, and memory.
Alongside commissioned work, several long-term personal projects have become important milestones in my image-making practice.
Corridors of Diversity (2016–Present)
A study of in-between spaces—corridors, walkways, and thresholds—where architecture quietly recedes into everyday life. These shared passages reveal how diversity is shaped through design, routine, and proximity.
A Wes Anderson-ish Singapore
A restrained, cinematic re-framing of familiar urban spaces through symmetry, colour, and careful composition. The project explores how perspective and framing can transform the way we experience a city built on order and repetition.
Coming Soon: Summer Island シンガポールの夏
Our latest Japan–Singapore architectural short film extends this practice into moving images. Summer Island explores place as emotion—where buildings, landscapes, and summer light become vessels for memory, impermanence, and human connection.
This year marks another new chapter, with the continuation of Corridors of Diversity and the public premiere of Summer Island.
I'm deeply grateful to the developers, architects, designers, collaborators, and clients who have trusted our vision over the past decade.
Whether through still photography or film, the work remains guided by the same belief: architecture is not only something we see, but something we experience through time, light, and memory.
Here's to the next chapter—with the same curiosity, and many more places and stories to discover.
