Whether shooting landscapes, cityscapes or fashion, Night Photography can be very tricky to get right. There are so many more elements to think about when you are cut off from the sun or artificial light sources: the lifeblood of taking pictures.

But the plus side is that it gives snappers the chance to be more creative and that is definitely something the photographers selected here have excelled at. Let us take a look at some of their wonderful works.

Shooting fashion spreads at night can add a seductive layer to the imagery. This is something that the great Helmut Newton understood all too well. Jenni Porkka taps into this idea excellently in her symmetrical photographs, featuring a Lady Gaga-like model stalking a lonely city dressed all in black.
