Overview
Photograph Oahu during the "Golden Hour", the soft, beautiful light occurring shortly before sunset.
The most sought-after light by photographers happens shortly before sunset when the light is warm and soft, filtered by the earth's atmosphere. It's the perfect time to capture just about any image, from portraits to landscapes to silhouettes. Your experienced guide will have you in the right place at the right time to make the most of every second of the "Golden Hour".
Let Oahu's natural beauty inspire your creativity and sense of photographic adventure. We'll visit some of Honolulu's most spectacular scenery, from lush tropical valleys and ancient ruins to dramatic waterfalls and panoramic coastal views and stop to visit some special places known only to locals. Our experienced photography and nature guide will help you create what are sure to become some of your favorite photographic memories.
Whether your idea of photography is grabbing your mobile phone out of your back pocket or a camera bag packed with a DSLR and multiple lenses, your professional guide will "expose" you to all the capabilities of your camera and challenge you to use your equipment to its fullest to create stunning, impactful images. The small group size ensures personal attention and expert guidance on both technical and creative topics for each guest. Even experienced photographers will learn a few new tricks to improve their photographic skills.
Our location during the 'Golden Hour' will be carefully chosen, depending on the season and the day's weather conditions, to ensure the best opportunities for you to capture memorable moments of your time on Oahu.
As an added bonus, on Fridays in summer (June, July and August) we'll bring out the tripods to capture the brilliance of fireworks lighting up the Honolulu skyline.
