The use of unusual colors in the photographs adds a really cool and unique touch. The lighting plays a big role in achieving this effect because it helps adjust the colors and sets the mood for the nighttime scenes. It also creates a strong contrast between the dark night and the vibrant colors, which makes the photos stand out even more.

I personally love how they combine cyberpunk elements with real-world buildings. It’s an interesting mix of the familiar and the futuristic. It’s like seeing traditional architecture alongside the high-tech and edgy style of cyberpunk. It creates a sense of curiosity and makes you wonder what it would be like if those two worlds collided.

I think I can apply this style to my own photography by experimenting with different lighting colors and adjusting the colors in my photos. The artistry behind these photos really inspires me, especially because I’m also into games, animation, and the two-dimensional world. It shows me that I can bring elements from those interests into my photography and create something unique and visually appealing.

A Quote from Liam Wong:

“My work wouldn’t be anywhere without the music that I listen to – it really helps me zone in on the mood of a piece when I shoot and edit.”
I chose this quote from Liam Wong because I never tried listening to music while taking photographs and I wanted to try this to set my moon and see if it will affect my work.
