Sunset and Night Photography Workshops 2021

Sunset and Night Photography Workshops

Learn how to capture San Francisco sunset and night photography in these individual location-based workshops.
with Hendrik Paul

Are you looking for inspiration and great locations for sunset photography? Need some new long exposure photography tips? Just want to get out of the house and photograph for a few hours? Join us for one—or all!—of our Sunset and Night Photography Workshops. Locations include Treasure Island, Chinatown, Sutro Baths, Twin Peaks, and the Marin Headlands – Battery Rathbone McIndoe.

On the Wednesday before each Sunset and Night Photography location shoot, there will be a 30-minute Zoom pre-outing discussion where we will go over gear, expectations, and layout of the location.

On the specified Saturday or Sunday, we will meet at each predetermined location for the photo excursion.

Everyone will be able to photograph at their own pace, while our instructor goes to each individual offering help and tips with your night photography settings. Masks are required for Covid-19 safety.

Following the excursion, we will hold a group critique via Zoom to share your best photos with everyone in the workshop.
