Golden hour

The low sun, long shadows, warm skin. Roughly the last hour and a quarter before sunset, and the same after sunrise.

How it works

Four steps, and the first one is a short message.

  1. Ask about a date. Tell me who's in the picture, roughly when, and anywhere you love.

  2. I plan the light. I'll suggest a spot and a start time around golden or blue hour that day.

  3. We shoot. No stiff poses. Walk, talk, laugh; I'll guide where it helps.

  4. Your gallery. Edited photos arrive in a private online gallery to download and share.

Tell me who's in the picture and roughly when. I'll find the light and the place.
