Night Photography by John Vias
Confucius wrote, “Everything has its beauty but not everyone
sees it.” I create art to inspire you to see that beauty. We expect to see it in butterflies
and flowers but beauty can be found in a factory’s strong lines,
a bridge’s sensuous curves, and a staircase’s repeating patterns.
With exposures measured in minutes, and without filters or digital effects,
I capture the mood and mystery of the night.
Creating night photography is like shooting a movie all on one frame.
Time is compressed; movement is frozen. What’s left is stillness and quiet.
With our hurried lifestyles, my work is an invitation to slow down. Breathe. And look.
I hope you’re inspired by my night photography and want to have some in your life. You can buy prints here at my site.
Currently, you can see my night photography in person here:
- At the Joyce Gordon Gallery in Oakland at the Glimpses in Time exhibit.
- In Berkeley by appointment at my studio.
