The Glass
Hours

Sands Expo · SingaporeFebruary 202610 framesAcros

A convention hall at eight in the morning is the best-lit room in Singapore and nobody is looking at it. The glass runs four storeys, the escalators cut across it at a slight angle, and for about forty minutes the people arriving are pure silhouette. I shot the whole set at 27mm, mostly wide open, mostly in Acros — the light did the grading for me.

Grid and silhouettes

Eight o’clock: the escalators fill and empty in ninety-second cycles. You wait for the gap, then for the one figure that holds the diagonal.

Atrium, west stair
Descending
Two, talking

The last two are the same hall an hour later, when the light has gone flat and everyone is inside. I keep them for the contrast.
