Essence of Existence

Second visit to this random yellow flower fields at Bixby- but at night! Sun was almost gone, but I needed this blue Audrey dress shot. Last look of the day! So I got a flashing idea to have Hoya’s carlights on and use them as light. I was doubtful because I do not like using artificial lights as the main source of light, but it worked. It looked like 90’s hippy lookbook or something; glad Hoya’s car lights were yellow not white which made the whole blue hour so warm but strong at the same time. I used to give up easily after the sun is gone but this shoot made me rethink of sunsets and to linger longer in the blue light remaining from Sunlight. Blue, green, yellow color palette in summer night- what can be better?
