A Secret for You!

April 17, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

Shh...  I have a secret for you.  

One of the best keys to a great picture is the lighting.  It truly is that simple.  Some images are great due to the act they are catching may be significant, awwing, or never before seen.  Often what separates which images of this event are better than others is the lighting.  Without light most photography would not be possible, so it is one of the biggest factors in where I place my clients, what time their session is, and how original the images become.  

My favorite time of the day to shoot is the hour before sunset.  I will shoot in any light of the day, but during this hour I have the most options and images can be very radiant!  This is called the golden hour.  The sky often lights up with amazing displays of color.  The clouds are painted in reds, oranges, pinks, and purples contrasting in ways you simply cannot see during the day.  Last fall, the Smith family let me document their family during this favored hour.  Can you see the skyline I am talking about?

 

The sun had just recently set, giving just a hint of oranges peaking from the horizon.

even without colored images, it is still my favorite time of the day to shoot.
