“Why do you love shooting cities so much?” - It’s a question that often pops up in interviews and discussions I have with different people around the world.And the answer is simple.
Because that shot, those circumstances, can only have happened once.
Ever.It will never, and can never, be repeated - much like any photography that captures the real world around us, it’s a moment in time that’s so fleeting, even pressing the shutter 1/1000th of a second later would result in a different capture of peoples’ lives.And that’s exactly what a cityscape really shows us.Sure - it’s full of incredible buildings, structures and lights - but it’s mostly a frozen moment of a million peoples’ day.
A moment that’s never to be repeated, but now permanently on record.That, right there, is what happened at 18:36:38 on the 5th August this year, just as I clicked the button on a rooftop sunset in Tokyo.#tokyotokyo #tokyotravel #tokyo #cityscape #rooftop #tokyo🗼 #cityviews #mediumformat #phaseone #sunsetvibes🌅

Big In Japan…I’ve been visiting this incredible country for quite some years now, and with each and every trip I’m reminded of one thing - the importance of the past, especially when we’re always so focused on the future.In Tokyo - just step a few blocks away from those brightly lit neon streets, filled with skyscrapers for as far as the eye can see, and you’ll find seemingly untouched neighbourhoods and businesses that overflow with heritage and tenacity; communities that are centuries old, carrying on with life, unchanged by outside influences.This is a city that constantly reminds me: calm doesn’t have to only be before a storm - it can sit alongside, in the shadows, just waiting for you to visit in those moments when you need a break.#Tokyo #TokyoNights #TokyoTravel #JapanTravel #MediumFormat #PhaseOne #Cityscape #PhaseOne #calmbeforethestorm #Evoku #Izakaya #streetsoftokyo

Stuck in traffic - Shanghai, China. 🇨🇳The next time you are - look up, high up, all the way to the rooftops - and you might see me capturing that frustration on camera. (Remember to smile!)While buildings and spaces help to define the shape of a city at night, it’s the traffic and trails that bring all that urban energy to life. The lifeblood of a metropolis, that light from these networks of roads deliver a futuristic glow, like arteries, to the towering structures that surround them.And sometimes, just sometimes, you’ll find me appreciating those roads in their own right - just as they are. Context is great, ultra-wide cityscapes (as I have of this interchange) can look awesome, but every now and then it feels like it’s the details that matter.“It’s just a road” - but is it really? 🚘Each evening, that road is host to hundreds of thousands of stories, each unique, each special to its teller, and secret from everyone else around.And there’s me, sat on one of my favourite rooftops in Shanghai, just catching the lights that carried those tales.Next time you’re in traffic - remember - your lights might be helping me to capture yours. 📷(Look out for the full series of this iconic bridge, coming soon: https://www.paulreiffer.com )#Cityscape #Urban #CommercialPhotography #LandscapePhotographer #Shanghai #China #RoadNetwork #PhaseOne #CaptureOne #RooftopPhotography #traffictrails #carlights #cityphotography #shanghailife #mediumformat #upontheroof #shotfromabove #nightphotography #traffic

Dunes - Mesquite Flat, Death Valley National Park, California 🇺🇸“Why go to all that bother of using a tilt lens on your setup?” 📷Well, because it means that every single thing in my frame - from the smallest grain of sand at my feet, to the furthest mountain peak - is captured in insanely sharp detail; meaning a single long exposure shot becomes a study of nature the longer you look at, and in, to the scene. 🏜️And surely those giant dunes of Death Valley deserve at least that much attention…? 😉🤷‍♂️🤔#deathvalleynationalpark #deathvalley #PhaseOne #Rodenstock #nationalparkservice #mesquitedunes #tiltshift #tiltshiftphotography #mediumformat #mesquiteflatsanddunes #desertsand #longexposure_world #lookcloser #realisrare
