Chasing the Last Light
Golden Hour is an editorial project that lives entirely within a 20-minute window each day. The work documents urban and natural landscapes during the brief period when light turns amber and shadows stretch long. Beyond the photography, the project extends into a design system — warm gold tones, soft gradients, and unhurried layout — that carries the mood of that fleeting moment into print and digital formats.
The Making of a Series
The series was shot across eight cities over the course of a year — returning to each location on multiple days to capture different atmospheric conditions within the same light window. Post-processing was kept deliberately minimal: no composites, no artificial light addition. The editorial layout was designed to mirror the subject — wide margins, slow pacing, and a typographic system that steps back to let the photographs breathe. Published as a limited-edition print book and an interactive web archive.
