What is Golden Hour in Photography?
Golden hour is the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset when the sunlight is softer, warmer, and more diffused, eliminating harsh shadows and creating a dreamy glow in your portraits.
In the UAE, golden hour typically occurs:
Morning: 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM
Evening: 5:30 PM – 6:45 PM
At Butina Studio, we utilize this magical light to enhance your natural features and create cinematic, warm, and elegant images.
