How to use the windows

Three shots, three moments

Golden hour, the warm exterior

The hour before sunset gives soft, warm light on the front of the house with long shadows. Shoot the elevation that faces the sun.

Blue hour, the twilight shot

The twenty minutes after sunset. Every interior light on, the sky deep blue. This is the listing cover photo. Arrive early, the window is short.

Civil dusk, the last frame

When the sun is six degrees under, the sky goes dark and the windows overpower it. Pack up at civil dusk, or go for a night look on purpose.
