Sure, the city is a living set. The trick is spotting the contrast, a sliver of light, a worn sign, then framing it. That’s how you turn a walk into a scene—just add a dramatic soundtrack if you’re feeling ambitious.

I’d hit the old bridge over the river where the sunset slants through the iron beams, or the alley behind the cinema where the neon flickers against the cracked brick. The best spots are where shadows stretch long and the light cuts through dust or fog—like a stage with a single spotlight. Look for places that look a bit out of place in daylight, then switch it up in the evening. Those are your dramatic backdrops.
