As a natural phenomenon that takes place daily, breathtaking sunsets are something of a speciality in destinations such as Phuket. Here are 4 tips holidaymakers chasing the perfect sunset shot can use to elevate their holiday snaps.
Plan the Shoot
Finding the best location, vantage point and angle for sunset photographs is a process that cannot be completed in a single afternoon. It’s best to observe a few sunsets and the movement of the sun to get a sense of the timings and settings that facilitate the best views and plan a photo session accordingly.

Use Reflections to Your Advantage
Travellers occupying SAii Laguna Phuket or any other beachfront holiday resort in Phuket that provides unhindered views of Bangtao Beach can use their waterfront location to capture two sunsets for the price of one. As swimming pools near the beach and wet surfaces reflect the sun, vacationers can photograph two sunsets simultaneously.
Turn Off the Flash
While it may seem obvious, using the flash during “golden hour” photo shoots is a mistake that should be relegated to amateur shutterbugs. This is especially relevant to those who intend to head up to Prompthep Cape to photograph the spectacular sunsets visible from its vaulted location.
Choose a Focal Point or Subject
Using fishing boats or other travellers to break up the barrenness of ordinary sunset photos is necessary to create an engaging focal point. Photos that have a clear visual focal point are not only more engaging to the senses but are also likely to make a bigger impression.
