# Night Shore

> Toronto's skyline from the islands and the lakeshore, photographed between blue hour and midnight.

- **Year**: 2024
- **Location**: Toronto waterfront, Canada

Eight frames of a city seen across dark water.

## Project images

- From the island docks, late evening.
- Blue hour from the islands.
- Cloud coming in off the lake.
- The tower from the street.
- Long exposure, the lake gone flat.
- Midnight, after the last ferry.
- Dusk from the eastern shore.
- Fog on the last night.

I spent four nights on the Toronto waterfront, mostly on the island ferry docks, waiting for the lake to go still. The city is loud up close and almost silent from across the water.

These frames sit between blue hour and midnight, when the towers turn into lines of light and the lake doubles them. I kept to long exposures and a low horizon, so the water takes up as much of each picture as the skyline. One frame breaks the rule: a tower block disappearing into fog, shot from the street on the last night.
