Our friends Niki and Martin asked me for a photoshoot so with careful planning around the golden hour before sunset, we went ahead.  With Passikudah being on the East Coast the sun sets opposite the sea – so perfect for what we had in mind with soft, golden light and an absence of harsh shadows to the eye sockets.  My studio reflectors are all back in the UK so whilst I’d avoid the peak of day anyway, such timing was still especially important.

You will be the ultimate judge but I think it worked out quite nicely.
