The 7 Rules of Golden Hour Photoshoot

Capturing the Essence: - Featuring Model Ami Hope Jackson

Introduction

Golden hour photography is a magical time when the sun bathes the world in a warm, golden light. In this blog post, we explore a captivating photoshoot featuring aspiring artist and model, Ami Hope Jackson. 

Represented by Linden Staub London and Notanother.intl, Ami’s unique face structure and moody presence make her the perfect subject for golden hour photography. 

Join us as we delve into the 7 rules that created a dramatic, edgy, and luxurious photoshoot experience in London.

1.

Rule of Timing:

Golden hour photography relies on perfect timing. The shoot was carefully planned shortly before sunset, allowing the fading light and golden hues to enhance Ami’s beauty and moodiness.

2.

Model Selection:

Ami’s distinctive face structure and captivating aura make her an ideal model for golden hour photography. Her individuality added an artistic vibe and a sense of luxury to each frame.

3.

Location Choice:

The shoot took place near Liverpool Street Station in London, where a bold statue of art complemented Ami’s moody appearance. The urban surroundings provided a striking contrast against the ethereal golden hour light.

4.

Fashion Styling:

Ami’s choice of a perfect burgundy coat added drama and flair to each shot, accentuating the warm tones of the golden hour light. The fashion styling seamlessly blended with the artistic vibe of the shoot.

5.
Lighting Techniques:

The photographer, Swain Joshua, strategically utilized the path of light at a specific angle, creating a dramatic and flirty effect on Ami’s face. The golden glow of the sun added a unique radiance to elevate the impact of the images.

6.
Equipment and Settings:

To capture the essence of the golden hour, Swain Joshua used a Sony A7III camera paired with a 35mm Samyang f/1.5 lens. He employed an ND filter to control light intensity and used a flash on the camera to fill in shadows on Ami’s face, achieving a balanced and dynamic composition.

7.
Post-Processing Magic:

Swain Joshua applied careful post-processing techniques to enhance the images further. By balancing warm tones, adjusting shadows and highlights, and preserving the natural beauty of the golden hour light, he achieved a final dramatic and luxurious aesthetic.

Conclusion:

The golden hour photoshoot featuring Ami Hope Jackson epitomized the enchantment of this magical time of day. Through meticulous planning, 

model selection, location choice, lighting techniques, and post-processing magic, Swain Joshua created a visual masterpiece. 

The shoot harmoniously combined artistry, edginess, and luxury, resulting in breathtaking images that captured the essence of Ami and the golden hour itself.
