Night Street Photography & Silhouettes

December 23, 2015 by Ted

I got a chance to get out last night and do a little street shooting downtown. It’s December but the temperature wasn’t too bad and it felt great to get out!

Photography is all about light and shadows and most photographers prefer more light as opposed to less. Might be just a phase but I’m starting to go the other way on that issue… I prefer more shadows with selective light. Especially when it comes to street photography I’ve really been enjoying doing that kind of shooting at night more rather than doing daytime shooting.

Here are some shots I got last night that use more of a silhouette approach to the people who starred in my photos. I like the mystery and story that this kind of lighting helps produce.

This photo has a funny story – that is actually an Elvis impersonator. We said hi to each other as he passed me and started walking into the garage. I just waited for him to get into the light and then I managed to get enough of the parKING lot sign in the photo. I usually don’t want to have to explain an image, but I think the context helps a bit with this one. I titled this, “Elvis Has Left The Buidling.” 😉
