Shutter Hub has put out a new call for submissions.
NIGHT MOODS is an online exhibition project celebrating the creative possibilities of image-making when the sun goes down.
Whether you’re interested in seemingly mundane street scenes or evocative nocturnal landscapes, prefer a spot of astrophotography or maybe just enjoy experimenting with light trails, NIGHT MOODS aims to showcase the range of photographic expression available at night.
The night can be an incredibly suggestive time, with the darkness useful for creating mystery or an unnerving atmosphere. Scenes we overlook during the day often take on a fascinating new appearance at night, or you may simply be inspired by the romance of the colours in the sky in the moments just after sunset to create something beautiful.
I’ve submitted the five images shown below (some you have seen before) and the following statement.
‘Night begins for me when it is dark, and that can be as early as four o’clock in the winter. It embraces the early evening, the remains of the day, those hours when the world is still about its business – the late customers, the going home, the lights going on in houses, the awakening of the night time economy. Artificial light takes over from daylight and the modern world of business continues to turn. I’ve tried to capture this time of transition along an ordinary suburban road near where I live.’
