How to Shoot (and Sell) the Perfect Golden Hour Photo

Golden hour works because the light does the flattering for you.

Shoot with the sun behind or beside you, never straight on, and let the warmth do the rest. A golden hour photo doesn’t need a filter, it needs timing. Thirty minutes before sunset, camera ready, and you’re set.

Then, share your shot as part of our #NiteFlirtPostcards summer series. This week’s theme is #NiteFlirtGoldenHour, that warm, hazy late-afternoon light that makes everything look a little softer. It’s a mood more than a place.

Tag @NiteFlirt and use #NiteFlirtGoldenHour and #NiteFlirtPostcards for a chance to have your postcard featured on our social channels.

Check the sunset time tonight and plan five minutes around it.
