"Light from the sun takes about eight minutes to travel to our planet, so when we see the sun as it sets, it has already gone during that eight-minute time delay; only its light remains."

As humans, what we perceive is only a minor part of the radiation emitted from the sun as visible light, a fraction of the invisible (to us) electromagnetic spectrum. Most of us possess the gift of excellent color vision, capturing the spectrum with our eyes and sorting it within our brains to create a world of vibrant hues – a spectrum we, in turn, aim to replicate through our cameras.

Once the sun's visible white light encounters Earth's atmosphere, it transforms based on the particles present in the air—dust, smoke, water vapor, and the gases comprising our atmosphere. The angle of the sun's light during sunset interacts with these particles, giving rise to the breathtaking colors within the warm spectrum - the reds, the yellows, and the oranges. The blue sky itself is a testament to the atmosphere's impact on the color spectrum of white light. This project seeks to capture and amplify these colors in works of photographic art, where 'photo' meets 'light' and 'graph' meets 'draw.'
