Palace of Fine Arts & Baker Beach, Last Hour of Sun.

How it went

Urban light at Palace of Fine Arts is all about timing. We worked the late-day windows when the sun catches one side of a facade and leaves the other in deep shade.

Next was Baker Beach, a different beach with a different texture. Same sun, totally different feel.

Two-plus hours of slow walking, quiet direction, and a couple drives between spots. Each location added a different look to the gallery (coast, cliff, ridge, trees) without the day ever feeling rushed.

City sessions have a rhythm. Architecture sets the scene, the couple sets the pace.

The shoot
The whole shoot, not just the highlights

Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.
