Location Photography - 2 MAGIC HOUR LIGHTING


Above and below are my examples of magic hour lighting. this time of day is first and last hour of sunlight during the day. For a location sufficiently far from the equator, the sun may not reach an altitude of 10 degrees, and the magic hour lasts for the entire day if the sun indeed rises. This would be such sunny destinations abroad like teniriffe. this type of lighting tends to be ideal for potrait photography.








here is an example of magic hour lighting on a object. Creating a golden light on the object and casting shadows.



BLUE HOUR AND MY EXAMPLE
blue hour comes from the french expression l'heure bleue, which refers to the period of twilight each mourning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special due to the quality of of the light at this time of day. key tip* the blue hour is considered especially flattering for people with blonde hair in photography.
