There’s a particular kind of magic when the light begins to fade. Colours soften, shadows lengthen, and the landscape slips into a quieter register — dusk and dawn, mist and moonlight, lamplit streets, star-sprinkled skies, and those in-between moments where atmosphere takes centre stage. This theme invites you to follow the glow: to find beauty in silhouettes, reflections, gentle pools of illumination, and the calm drama that emerges when the world is lit only sparingly.
Whether you’re working with a tripod and long exposures, embracing grain and mood, or simply responding to what the night gives you, we’d love to see your interpretation of Low Light.
