I love golden hour shoots — nothing beats a sunset drenched in warm light. The colours come alive, the shadows soften — it’s like shooting on a cloudy day, but with golden sparkles in the air.
Of course, beach shoots come with their own challenges. Haze and moisture can wreak havoc on your photos, but with the right gear and a bit of ingenuity, you can easily work around the elements.
Brenton Beach in Knysna is one of the best spots for portraits and family photos. With its abundance of rocks, textures, and hidden nooks, there’s always a perfect spot to escape harsh light — even if you miss golden hour.
Brenton Beach truly is the Swiss Army knife of beaches when it comes to portrait and family photography.
