Every place offers an interesting canvass so you can sketch whatever picture you like. One thing I am proud of as a portrait photographer in Bay Area, is the ability to create versatile imagery. Often, I get asked what's so different about my photography services when compared to other local photographers in Bay Area? The answer is - manipulating light to my advantage. You have to see these images shot at the same location to understand my persportrait photographer in Bay Area,pective, skills and passion.

The goal is to offer a variety of pictures incorporating lighting techniques and have fun during a session. During this particular shoot, I wanted to create 4 different colour sky giving a variety of look and feel to the pictures changing settings and lights in camera.

Now whether you are local graduating college, or newly engaged couple on an international adventure, you must consider Alviso Marina as one of the beautiful places to do the photo shoot in Bay Area.

  • Literally no traffic on 237 in late evenings if you are coming from south or east bay.
  • Beach vibe
  • Perfect sunset
  • Bird water's paradise

Cons

  • Windy, isn't that expected near Pacific?:)
  • Smells sometimes as the water is stagnant
  • No picnic area
