Have you ever seen a building like this before? 🎍 Inspired by theatre curtains, the facade is made up of three overlapping, moving layers of vertical stainless steel pipes that slowly rotate around the building 😀 The movement happens every 2 hours daily for 10 minutes at a time! It can also be customised depending on what's happening inside 😮 I failed the first 2 times I tried shooting this timelapse 😅 but managed to get it on my 3rd attempt! 👌🏻 📍 This is the Bund Finance Centre (Fosun Foundation) building in the Old City of Shanghai designed by architects @officialheatherwickstudio and @fosterandpartners - how cool! 🤩 #shanghai #architecture #timelapse #china #sonyalpha

Thought I'd reintroduce myself since 2026 just started and there's a lot of you that are new here 😀 Hello! 👋🏻 My name is Demas and I'm a photographer based in Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺 I'm originally from Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩 🤳🏻 I've been posting photography content on Instagram since 2012. My photography style leans more towards travel, architecture, and creative editing, but I like to shoot a bit of everything. 🏠 I have a Masters of Architecture degree and worked in the architecture industry for 5 years before quitting to become a full-time freelance photographer in 2020 (during the pandemic). I learnt graphic design skills and how to edit using Photoshop really well during this time. 😮 📷 I currently shoot on a Sony A7R4 (with 3 main lenses: 12-24mm f4, 24-70mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f2.8), a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, a DJI Mavic 3, and I use the Insta360 Go Ultra and/or Rayban Metas to record BTS content (you can see my full gear-list via the link in my bio 😉) ⚽️🏀🎾 I play and watch a lot of sports (mainly football, basketball, and tennis) and try to be as active as possible. 🌃🦉 I'm a night owl - usually sleep really late around 2-3am and therefore don't really shoot sunrises 😆 💻 I've been super blessed and fortunate that this social media thing turned into a career (definitely worked hard for it!) and through this, I've worked with international brands like Samsung, Sony, Adobe, Nike, Adidas, Etihad Airways, Insta360, and much more and done tourism campaigns with Japan tourism and Visit Saudi. 📚 I truly believe that everything in life happens for a reason and the results you get are a direct outcome of the input you give - so if you are really passionate about something, go for it, it's definitely achievable! Ask me any questions you have in the comments! 👇🏻 Also, curious to know which photo of mine was the first one you saw that made you follow me? 🤔 Thanks so much for the constant love and support fam! I appreciate each and every single one of you whether you've been following me for 1 day or the 13+ years! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #photographer #photography #askmeanything #travel #viral

Did it work for you? 😮🤯 I got a headache testing which videos would work for this effect because I was shaking my head while watching the videos on my computer 😂😆😅 #osaka #shakeyourphone #japan #cinematic #opticalillusion

Have you been to Sydney before? 🇦🇺 How many of these spots have you been to? 🤔 I started photography in Sydney (where I live) back in 2012 while I was in architecture school and ever since then I've always made it a mission of mine to shoot the Sydney Opera House from as many angles as possible! 😀 It's my favourite building in the world and I feel so lucky to live in the same city! 📷 #sydneyoperahouse #sydney #photography #australia #sonyalpha
