Golden Hour Couple Photography
in Alentejo, Portugal
This project captures an intimate couple photoshoot set against sun-drenched landscape of the Alentejo, Portugal. The goal was to capture the golden hour light to create a visually dramatic and deeply emotional series of images, emphasizing connection, warmth, and high contrast.
Warmth & Contrast
The photography session was intentionally timed to take place during the Golden Hour, the period just before sunset. This natural lighting produced a spectacular, deeply atmospheric effect, bathing the vast landscape of the Alentejo in rich, warm hues.
The low angle of the sun provided strong directional light, which naturally created striking contrasts and long, defined shadows. This dramatic illumination helped to sculpt the couple's figures resulting in powerful images filled with intense color and profound emotional warmth.
