Once in a year, at the exact moment of sunset, the sun, viewing angle, and One World Trade Center aligned perfectly in a straight line. This rare alignment produced a symmetrical vertical flare — with three distinct bursts of light stacked from top to base.
I am Yuanfeng, a photographer based in New York and New Jersey. Since 2023, I have been exploring architecture and cityscapes through my lens, focusing on geometry, light, and the rhythm of urban forms. I often explore the color and emotion of the cityscape during golden hour and blue hour, and I also chase moon alignments that bring a poetic dimension to the urban skyline. My work seeks to capture the dialogue between structure, atmosphere, and celestial moments.
