Check-in corner

Night Lights Corner, when the golden lights come on

When it gets dark, the golden-light corner at Nhà An looks its best on camera. A hot cup of tea in your hands, soft light behind you: no fancy filter needed, the photo still glows warm.

The idea

Golden light, a touch of tenderness

The Night Lights Corner is Nhà An's spot for evening photos: warm bulbs, string lights and soft pools of light and shadow. It looks best after 7 PM, once it's fully dark outside.

Since Nhà An is open 24/7, you can drop by after work, after class or during a break from a deadline crunch. Take your shot, then head back to your table and keep going.

Shooting at this corner is free for Nhà An guests. The exact spot at each branch will be announced when we open.

  • Warm bulbs and string lights, best after 7 PM
  • Great for portraits, shots of your tea and photos with friends
  • No pro camera needed, your phone is enough

Quick tips

Night light: best time, angle and props

Light is weaker at night, so a few small tricks will make your photos brighter and sharper.

Best times

From 7 PM on, once it's dark outside, the warm bulbs stand out most. Late at night the café is usually quieter, so it's easier to shoot without people in the frame.

Camera angle

Put the string lights behind you, a little distance from your subject, so the points of light blur into dreamy circles. Hold the phone steady or rest your elbows on the table.

Outfit

Light colors like cream, blush pink and white catch the light well. Black still looks great if you stand close to a light source.

Props

A steaming cup of tea, a book or an open laptop all suit the evening mood.

Turn the flash off

Flash washes out the warm golden tone. Switch on your phone's night mode, tap on the face to focus and slide the brightness down slightly if the shot is blown out.

How to shoot

Four steps to night photos on your phone

The lighting is already lovely, you just need a light touch.

  1. Find a light source

    Stand or sit near a light so it falls on your face, and avoid standing against the light unless you want a silhouette.

  2. Steady hands, flash off

    Hold the phone with both hands and tuck your elbows against your body or the table. Turn the flash off and use night mode if your phone has it.

  3. Focus and adjust brightness

    Tap your subject, then slide the brightness down a little if the bulbs are blown out.

  4. Take several shots

    Night photos blur easily. Take a few in a row and pick the sharpest.

Etiquette

Night shooting, remember to take turns

Please do

  • Keep it quick and make room for other guests
  • Ask before including the person sitting next to you in the frame
  • Keep your voice down, especially near the Deadline Room

Please avoid

  • Pointing a flash or LED light straight at other people
  • Moving tables and chairs or blocking walkways
  • Staying in one spot for a long time when another group is waiting
