The Moon is the only natural satellite to earth and the brightest object in the night sky. Depending on the sky conditions and the position of moon in the sky, whether day or night, it is a great subject for creative storytelling photos. If you wish to photograph the night sky or wish to photograph landscapes or cityscapes at night or during dawn and dusk, having the moon in the frame will help to capture compelling, visually appealing photos.

Besides the above, the moon can be photographed during various phases and also during an eclipse. Each of these scenarios provide photographers the opportunity to capture the moon differently. Here are some ethereal photographs of the moon and moonscapes, so you can get some inspiration and ideas for stunning moon photography.

Apart from capturing closeup photos of the moon that fill the frame, in order to capture powerful storytelling photos of the moon, you will need to pay attention to composition.
