Night Photography

Back Again. We love spreading the word about creatives whose work has caught our attention. We have also been through the essence of photography before. But if this is your first time reading our photography inspiration posts, then the section below is worth reading. Today we will focus of night photography.

Photography, the art of taking and processing photographs. A moment in time captured through a lens to preserve history, moments of our childhood, a decaying landscape or an endangered species. Not only for the delicate moments of our past or present, but we use photographs to cement the memory of truly epic moments. Be it the moon landing, a rare species or the most beautiful sunset ever witnessed.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

– Aaron Siskind

Photography capture what is unique to one person. A land we will never stand upon or sights we will never behold. A great photograph is the result of thoughtful decisions made behind the lens, not directly by the quality of equipment. It is your knowledge that will define the shot, not the device. Anybody with a camera can aspire to take beautiful photographs.

Night photography, which offers a whole new perspective of the world. Especially when dealing with cities, being able to witness active lives in a way unparalleled during the day. The darkness allows colours to enrich themselves, as the brightest entities. Here are eight creatives whose work is worthy of notice and be sure to check out their portfolios. For more reasons on why you should shoot at night, head to Manfrotto.
