What you should know before the shoot
Both times can be beautiful, but they feel very different. Sunrise is quiet, clear and often people-free. Sunset is warmer, more emotional and for many holidaymakers easier to fit into the day.
The best choice depends on your rhythm. Those who can start early are rewarded with empty beaches. Those with more energy in the evening get the classic golden Mallorca atmosphere.
Advantages of sunrise
Many beaches are emptier in the morning, the light is soft and the temperatures are more pleasant. Especially in summer this can be a big advantage.
Sunrise suits couples, maternity shoots, families with early-rising children and anyone wanting a calm, intimate mood.
Advantages of sunset
Sunset is ideal for warm colours, romantic silhouettes and a familiar holiday atmosphere. Many people feel more relaxed in the evening because no alarm clock is needed.
In peak season we plan locations more carefully to avoid them getting too crowded.
Our recommendation
For calm images and small children we often recommend sunrise. For couples, after-wedding, best friends and romantic shoots, sunset is often the more emotional choice. Ultimately, your daily rhythm is what counts.
