If your photoshoot is in a park that has a lot of tree cover, the light will be further diffused, giving you the option of having a spotlight type effect for your portraits. Some even take it a step further and provide golden hour times – which is specifically for photographers! Even the location matters when searching for golden light. There are many website and apps that can provide exact sunrise and sunset times. Take the time to know the area that you are looking to do photography. In addition, the sun’s smaller angle to the horizon produces long shadows. Most photographers will use external flash or even a reflector to add additional light to the subject’s face or body, to make the light more even. Because the contrast is lower during golden hour, shadows and highlights are not that extreme. This type of lighting is not very flattering or desirable especially in portrait photography. When the sun is high in the sky, particularly around noon, the overhead light is very harsh, creating strong highlights and dark shadows.

As per wikipedia, more blue light is scattered during golden hour, so the sun’s light appears more reddish. You may notice, it is much easier to look at a sunrise and sunset with the naked eye – not that you should because it can damage the retina. Sun near the horizon has less intensity of direct light since it must travel through more of the atmosphere.

But in reality, the warmth varies as the sun moves across the sky. It is easy to think that any form of sunlight is warm – whether the sun is high in the sky, or close to the horizon.
