The morning light on the Outer Banks is decisive: low and cool over sand, catching the rusted ribs of a pier or the white face of a lighthouse. On a 90-minute private photography tour, a local Kitty Hawk photographer drives you to points where light, tide, and history converge — windows into the barrier islands that feel intimate even when the Atlantic is wide.
