Celebrating 10 Years of Architecture Photography

2026 marks my 10th year of professional practice in architecture photography with Shiya Creative Studio.
What began as a long-standing interest in light and space has, over time, become a steady practice of documenting the built environment — its order, its contradictions, its quieter moments. Over the past ten years, 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-form projects became important reference points in my image-making practice:
Corridors of Diversity
A study of in-between spaces — corridors, walkways, thresholds — where architecture recedes into everyday life. These shared passages reveal how diversity is shaped quietly by design, routine, and proximity.
A Wes Anderson-ish Singapore
A restrained, cinematic re-framing of familiar urban spaces through symmetry, colour, and control. The project looks at how attention and framing can shift our reading of a city built on order and repetition.
Summer Island (upcoming)
Our latest Japan–Singapore short film production that extends my architectural practice into moving images. Summer Island explores place as emotion — where buildings, landscapes, and summer light hold memory and impermanence.
This year, the work continues — new chapters of Corridors of Diversity and the public premier of Summer Island.
Grateful to all our clients (developers, architects, designers of the built environment) who have trusted this vision over the last decade.
Across stills and film, the work remains grounded in the same approach: architecture photography as a way of paying attention to time and place.
Onward — to new places, new works, and the same curiosity.
