As is typical with hisGlowseries, color is a key component.

Glow is about how your brain remembers the place instead of how your eyes see it.

The idea itself is about producing more vibrant visuals rather than just playing with colors.

Portela used his short time in Seoul wisely.

Due to the freezing weather, Portela found it a challenge to take long exposures.

Still, his photos are a fascinating look at nightlife in the city.
