Golden Hour is the period shortly after sunrise and before sunset when the sun casts a warm, soft light that enhances textures, colors, and depth in photography. While this golden glow creates a visually appealing atmosphere, capturing an original image requires more than just a yellowish tint.
Composition, subject, and storytelling play key roles in making the most of this light. Instead of relying solely on the warm tones, photographers should focus on contrast, shadows, and the emotion conveyed in the scene to create compelling and unique images that go beyond just a “golden” aesthetic.
