Night Photography

Thoughtful lighting schemes are now increasingly important for garden designers to showcase in their portfolios, and nighttime photographs demonstrate how an outdoor space can serve as a beautiful, atmospheric extension of the home that can be enjoyed long after the sun sets.

Night garden photography requires precise timing and a clear understanding of how shadows fall within a space. With the right balance of natural fading light and the installed lighting design, careful composition reveals the garden’s structure, planting layers, and the character of different materials. I have been photographing gardens at night for nearly a decade, giving me the experience to sense the moment when light and shadow come together to create the most atmospheric result.
