Night Photographs 1981 - 2025

Celebrating Forty-Four Years Of Night Photography!

Welcome to my website dedicated to the beauty of the night. Nightfolio has been my home as a photographer since 2004 but its design and philosophy are rooted in my own experiences participating in the optimistic digital world of the mid 1990s. The individualistic and communal spirit of that time of discovery is gone, replaced by a grinding and near totalitarian search for web profit. I wish to look back.

In the light of this when navigating around Nightfolio you won't have to contend with artificial content, nor advertising and definitely no shopping carts. There is no page optimisation here to placate the search engines or aid viewing on mobile telephones with their tiny screens. As a result, this site is defined entirely by my personality and outlook.

I hope you enjoy my photographic interpretations of the night, here is what others have said about my work:

On my images of Avebury " .... the best photos I have ever seen of these stunning stones. What I love is the way David Baldwin’s photographs show how different each stone is from the next and how perfect they would be to provide a set of distinct locations to encode information."

Dr Lynne Kelly, Author of "Knowledge And Power In Prehistoric Societies" and "The Memory Code"

"Your night photography is beautiful, especially love Windy Night and the Lady Chapel at Wells. I am a lover of night photography, mainly discovered via the internet and yours is special. Carry on!"

Susan Hill, Author of "The Woman in Black"

"This is a lovely site which emphasises that really good photography does not have any dependency on place, some people are just able to make what they take different, from the way that others see it. The effects are immediate, imposing and refreshing. It is too easy these days to forget that photography is not just image collection, a quick click and you're there. It is the inner expression of far more, not everybody has that skill, when they do, it is worth learning from.   In the world of mass imagery, there are still those who can make you stop and see, again.   This is an inspirational site."
