Overview

Seventy-four minutes of usable light.

A couple celebrating twenty years together asked for "nothing staged, just us and the view." We scouted five hilltops, chose one facing the downtown grid, and shot the entire film in a single dusk — no second takes of the sun.

The closing frame — two silhouettes over a glittering city — now hangs in our gallery as the limited print City of Angels Dusk.

Approach

Two cameras, zero directions.

The couple wore microphones and forgot the crew within minutes. One long lens stayed wide and patient; a second body floated for details — hands, wind, city lights switching on one grid at a time.

  • — Single-evening natural-light shoot
  • — Unobtrusive two-camera coverage
  • — Gallery print struck from the final frame
