This short, urban-landscape-focused workshop is designed for photographers who want to capture postcard-worthy urban landscapes of San Francisco without overextending themselves during the holidays.

While San Francisco offers at least 20 iconic, photo-worthy locations covered across our various workshops, this experience intentionally focuses on just two legendary spots: Ina Coolbrith Park for late afternoon urban landscapes, and the Golden Gate Bridge for sunset and long-exposure photography.

Scheduled right after Christmas, this workshop takes advantage of post-rain winter conditions, which often bring dramatic clouds, cleaner air, and beautiful light—ideal for cityscape photography.

An optional, free editing session  is offered the following day for attendees who wish to join. Attendance is optional, but participants must arrive on time, as there is no makeup class for the editing portion.

Equipment is not provided. Participants should bring their own camera, a sturdy tripod, and two lenses (one wide/medium and one telephoto).

The class is only offered on December 18th 2025, timed to take advantage of the potential light and cloud conditions following a week of holiday rain. Chances are that there may be very few attendees, so you’ll benefit from more personalized guidance.
