CAPTURE THE ATMOSPHERE Focus on the important elements in your photo, and take several shots while the sun is setting or rising. Changes in light will affect the appearance of your subject

No other genre is considered as challenging as low-light photography. When the sun goes down and natural light all but disappears, well-known scenes look completely different, and are transformed by the reduced light. This offers great potential to capture magical images and transport the viewer into a twilight world, creating new perspectives in an otherwise bright and familiar environment.
The limited amount of light presents photographers with a number of technical challenges, but it also offers certain advantages. The atmosphere changes as the light fades and shadows gain greater prominence, and through the use of minimal light sources, photography is enriched and placed in a greater context.
Creative approaches find their place, and various technical methods can be used to develop your imagery and make it stand out. The advanced technology of cameras and equipment gives us more control over the technical processes, allowing you to adapt them to suit your visual desires.
