Night walking the streets of Toronto, or any large city for that matter, with your favourite camera can often provide amazing street photography opportunities. When darkness falls in a large city, what is only partially seen can become more interesting that what was fully exposed only hours earlier.
Darkness has always had a slightly fearful effect on humankind, that is why every horror film ever made must have a terrifying night scene. What is hidden in darkness sparks the imagination, the unknown is often something to be suspicious of.
Street Photography at Night
A common commuter passageway during the daytime might be imagined as Jack-The-Ripper’s favourite alleyway when the nighttime engulfs it.
Take your favourite cameras, walk your city at night, use your imagination to locate an appropriate location and wait for the right subject to enter your scene!
The scene above is one of North America’s busiest train stations shot at night waiting for many people to pass until one soul entered the scene. Union Station –At Night.
