How it went
Garrapata Beach sits on cliffs that drop hundreds of feet straight into the Pacific. We worked in golden-hour light, when it wraps the rocks and the marine layer thins out at the horizon.
After that we drove south to Bixby Bridge, where the cliffs give way to a bigger sky — open frame, longer focal lengths.
We took the long route. Two-plus hours including driving — the kind of shoot where every location adds another color to the gallery.
What came out: 43 edited frames you could hang on a wall. Sneak peeks within 24 hours, full gallery in seven days. Big Sur keeps delivering this kind of session.
