Today we photographed a real castle with a real moat, two gorgeous Dutch models (or at least J did hehe), and a beautiful sunny countryside full of yellowing autumn leaves; this was gonna be our last shooting day in The Netherlands and after a rainy Rotterdam tour yesterday the sun did finally take a peek and blew all the clouds away.

Despite the fantastic session we had during the day, what stuck to me was the impromptu sunset shoot at the beach near where we were staying in Scheviningen. We were looking forward to shoot the setting sun from this vantage since the first day we got here, and at last we finally got the chance do so during nothing less but our last day. It was a bittersweet afternoon for me at the sandy shores of The Hague.

I was up at half past six in the morning after two hours of sleep, I wanted to check out a trail that we passed by the day before. I was down the chilly streets of the city in no time; hand stuffed in my pockets, cameras dangling down my neck, and briskly walking alone at the deserted streets of The Hague.
