[PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART]
The Daylight is the best light you can capture if you're ever trying to get a "real shot" of anything (either painting or photographing), but definitely don't be afraid to play with it because photography proves that the literal word around you is your canvas, and you can lighten and darken it however the f**k you want to.
Add your own twist on it, the more you play with life, the better outcome you'll get and I promise once you spend just less than a day experimenting, you won't ever have another question again.
But yes, absolutely, the sunrise and sunset are the best times for any sort of beautiful photograph. The Ancient Egyptians used to categorize the idea of death and rebirth as "Westing" and "Easting". Because the sun rises in the east "Easting" and it sets in the west "Westing", and they categorized those as their own words for dying and being reborn (dying = westing, rebirth = easting") as we've seen in hieroglyphics.
I think Life is at it's most pure in the dawn and the dusk.
In the great words of Robert Frost, he refers to the sunset as "gold", in the poem "nothing gold can stay". It's referring to a sunset, explaining that a sunset is the most beautiful perfect moment when the earth is coated in gold for just a split second, and everything is perfect and beautiful and brilliant.
The Egyptians viewed that same thing as death, and built most of their entire structure around sunrises and sunsets.
If you want to capture natural beauty, I believe that's where you'd need to catch it.
The night is for sleep, and the day is for work. It's the before and after of both of those things where beauty actually lies and ferments itself.
