Frequently Asked Questions
What is golden hour?
Golden hour is roughly the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset. The low sun angle creates warm, golden light with long shadows — ideal for photography.
How long does golden hour last?
Golden hour typically lasts 20-60 minutes depending on season and latitude. Near the equator it is shorter; near the poles it can last much longer.
