Introduce New Dimensions Into Your Street Photography at Night
Easy to apply strategies to improve your night street photography — with examples
Hello Friends,
First and foremost, to all new subscribers to this newsletter, a personal thank you and welcome!
Many people have a negative relationship with winter. It’s cold, dark, and days are short. Getting outside requires dressing for 25 minutes first. De-freezing upon return a hot beverage. Outdoor meeting? Only possible for a brief time. Drink on the terrace? Forget about it.

Here are a few reasons to go outside, withstand the cold, and shoot nighttime street photography.
More for your weekend reading
One of the best articles I’ve read over the internet in the past week was Science-Backed Advice on How to Increase Your Creativity Using the Power of Your Senses.
It walks you through how sight, sound, and smell affect your work and creativity, and how important a built environment is. The arguments are nicely backed with links to sources and research papers. I value opinionated articles very much, but if the argumentation is evidence-based like here, it makes me trust the author more.
