LOVE LIVE LAUGH
This New York image was captured on the Hudson River in Greenway. See how the L-shape of the nearby buildings robustly frame the One World Trade Centre, still standing, imposing and iconic in the aftermath of 9/11.
For all the tragedy that haunted New York City in the aftermath of 9/11, I wanted to use the L influence in the title of the composition. Love, Live, Laugh are three core principles of a happy life. Giving love, living in the now, laughing out loud. Try it. Remind yourself that life is as much if not more for enjoyment than the serious business.

LOVE THE CITY
On top of iconic Empire State Building. Looking out over Manhattan. This image is proof of the amazing urban jungle that is New York City. There is simply no place like it! Look at all these tall buildings standing together, framed by a natural “L” of the built environment.
Love The City is about faith and hope for the future. Imagine all people standing together, with a shared hope and vision for all mankind. This would be a world where we all can thrive in what makes us different as well as the same. So start living today, stop fighting others to be like you, embrace what makes them different, and let us all work for a happy future, whoever and wherever we are.

ONE STEP BACK
The image was taken on Liberty Island, New York City. I was standing under a large tree, facing the city’s unique skyline. There was nothing exceptional I could see through the lens until I took a single step back and framed Manhattan from this distinctive angle using the tree’s branches. That one shift transformed the whole composition of the shot, creating the memorable image you see today.
‘One Step Back’ is about how in life you sometimes need to step aside, retreat, or simply just take a step back to see the bigger picture or get a different perspective.

HIGHER
Standing in line to get on top of One World Trade Center, Downtown, Manhattan. I look up to the sky and capture this interesting shot. The blue, black and white unite in a variety of shapes. Nature and the man-made rise together up to the endless sky. Stretching up and up …
The higher we go spiritually and in life, the smaller we appear to those who don’t know how to and want to follow. It is often said you must seek like-minded people in life who inspire you and want to help lift you higher. But why not also be that person lifting others, because by raising up others you raise yourself up.

RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU
Battery Park, New York City. On the way from South Park to the One World Trade Center, I saw a fading flower in front of the Trade Center. This striking image is symbolic of Time and impermanence. Not everything stands on this earth forever, from a little flower to a towerblock.
In life there’s so many significant and beautiful things right in front of you. Sometimes you don’t see or realise them until it’s too late or they are gone. I’d love this design to make you more aware of life and how you live it. Appreciate what you can do in the fleeting time we all have. Know every action will echo in eternity. So, why not show kindness on your way, care for others, or give more than you get. It’s all possible!

FOCUS ON LIBERTY
Take the ferry to Liberty Island and circle around the legendary Statue of Liberty. The lady sure is a spectacle for all eyes. I wanted start to find an interesting and not to obvious angle to capture this iconic statue. The result is a more obscured, mysterious perspective as seen through the branches and leaves of a nearby tree.
There are so much that originates from the archetype of liberty. Let liberty be about the responsibility that comes with freedom. Focus on how you are morally responsible for everything you think and do. Responsibility is the price of freedom. But if you do good, behave yourself and you trust and believe in yourself you will always feel happy and free. With this in mind, go out in style and start living in liberty.
