Venue Photography in the winter blue hour

A winter blue-hour sits in a specific piece of the city; the venue photography has to reflect that or it stops being useful. December and January give Liverpool its most usable dusk — clear skies, deep blue, dense contrast — and the aerial and dusk exteriors are all built around that window.

Context

Winter dusk is a short, precise window.

Concretely, interior + exterior + aerial pack for marketing site and brochure. Everything is scheduled backward from sunset by 20 minutes.
