Natural Light Sunset Shoot

When the Sun Vanishes
Shot with a pair of lovely models at Kahalu'u. Friends Angie & Esther. It was so dark by this time, it was 20 mins before the sun usually goes down but because of a rain cloud beginning to encircle us the light diminished instantly. but I camera was able to pull detail out of the dark. These photo shoots in difficult lighting conditions is pushing me to adapt & learn more. Not every shoot is gonna have perfect weather conditions so for work & personal growth it is beneficial
