This is hands down one of my favorite styles of photography to capture, dark blacks making any bit of light or color pop and highlight what it is you want the viewer to see. The calmness, emptiness, and beauty that comes from the dark has always intrigued me, called to me almost. I’ve been a “night owl” for most of my life, so there was no surprise that when I picked up a camera, the first thing I set out to go do was walk around town taking photos at 2am. Not realizing that night time low light photography can be one of the most difficult things to start out doing as a beginner photographer. I honestly never seem to get enough though, no matter where I go, big city or small town, I always seem to try and find something to capture in the middle of the night. If I had to only choose one style of photography for the rest of my life, I’d have no hesitation in picking Midnight Photography, and no regrets in that decision either.
The photos in this post are from the 1st to the most recent Midnight Photography sessions I been on. I’ve walked around downtown areas small and large, in a little under a foot of snow and during warm summer nights, getting absolutely soaking wet at times, but never once caring too much because of how much fun I was having. These are the photos that started not just my love for “Midnight Photography”, but my love for photography as a whole. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do going out and capturing them, and thanks once again for giving them a look.
