Five Photographs of Milan’s Beautiful Buildings by Night

After discovering that Milan’s public transport shut down at 11pm last night owing to the May 1st Labour Day holiday, and finding that the queue for a taxi was rather long, I drifted back home on foot. While a walked, and prayed that the lightning show was not about to bring a downpour, I took a few photographs of Milan’s lovely city centre buildings.

What I love about some of the buildings in Milan’s centre is not just the glorious architecture, but also the clever way in which they are lit. I like photography and the way these buildings are lit makes them highly photogenic, or that’s what I think. Here are five of the photographs I took last night which I then converted into black and white.

You can judge for yourself whether Milan is as photogenic as the fashion models who can often be found on the city’s catwalks.

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

The next two buildings were in Via Giuseppe Mengoni. First this:

And to round this photographic post of nighttime Milan off, this other building in Via G Mengoni:

I’d love to hear what you think via a comment and please let me know which one is your favorite too.

For the photographically curious, all these photographs were taken without a tripod using a Fujifilm X100 camera.

So, when are you coming to photograph Milan by night? Soon, I hope.
