Sydney in Motion is now available online.
After two years of photographing Sydney’s streets, commutes, and quiet moments between destinations and another six months of curation, editing, and design my new photo book is officially out. It’s a love letter to Sydney, seen through light, people, and motion.

There’s also a limited edition of only 10 copies, each including a translucent insert and a signed, numbered A4 print a beautiful way to support artists and own something truly special.

I’ll be at @headonphotofest Book & Zine Fair this Sunday if you’d like to grab a copy in person, or I’m happy to organise a one-on-one coffee catch-up for local pickups. The link’s in my bio or www.houmankatoozi.com taken in Gadigal Country by @houmankatoozi

First week in Japan and already chasing light like a madman. These four frames are all about finding those in-between moments—where light, shadow, and timing collide to create something a little surreal. Sometimes it’s not the subject, but how the light touches it that tells the story.

San Francisco, in all its layers. A few frames from around the city — and over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing something closer to my heart: a deeper look into one of the world’s most iconic Chinatowns. Stay close. 🎞️

Last frames from Ho Chi Minh City. 🎞️ @ilfordphoto with @leica_camera MP + 28mm.
Scooters, strangers, dogs, and a few rare quiet moments — all shot on film. A city that gives you plenty if you just show up and pay attention.

These frames — shot on @ilfordphoto HP5 with my @leica_camera MP — are about the women of HCMC. Young, old, in between. Vendors, commuters, mothers. The city runs on them, even if you have to slow down to notice.

My first time in Vietnam, and Ho Chi Minh City absolutely floored me. I wasn’t prepared for the scale of it — the endless stream of scooters weaving through traffic, the density of people, the energy that just doesn’t let up. It’s a city that demands your attention the moment you step outside.And then there’s the food. The coffee, did I mention the coffee? Don’t even get me started.A few days wasn’t nearly enough.
