About

White wall lights fall across a textured brick facade and an empty sidewalk at night.

Viewfinder keeps photographs made after dark in short series. Each series follows one thing that keeps appearing once the light goes: lit windows, snow, rain on glass, mist around a light.

A series begins when the same thing keeps turning up on different nights. Each caption says only what is in the picture.

Working after dark

  • Go out once the windows are lit and the street has emptied.
  • Let one light hold each picture together: a window, a lamp, a light behind a tree.
  • Return to the same subject on other nights, in rain, snow and mist.
  • Keep the dark parts dark; the edges of a picture can stay unresolved.
  • Choose the frames that belong together, and let a series stay short.

Viewfinder is a fictional demo: the series, titles and text are written for this theme. Photographs: CC0 from the WordPress Photo Directory by Swathi Shabu, Keramot UL Islam, 渡邉厚夫(たいちょ渡邉), Topher, Manjil Aryal and FahimMurshed.
