Seattle Golden Hour Photography Workshop

Overview

Join me for three days of immersive sunrise and sunset photography across multiple Seattle vantage points — including iconic skyline overlooks, waterfront reflections, elevated perspectives, and (conditions permitting) optional drone flights in permitted areas.

This workshop focuses on the best light of the day — golden hour into blue hour — with nothing scheduled during midday so you have time to rest, explore, or edit. Each session will include hands-on guidance for composition, exposure, color management, and adapting your approach to the unique colors and atmospherics of Seattle’s evening glow.

Why This Workshop Is Special

Seattle’s skyline transforms dramatically with early-morning fog, evening reflections, and shifting marine layers. We’ll be at carefully chosen locations to maximize conditions and capture the city at its most atmospheric.

• Multiple Seattle-area sunrise and sunset locations
• Drone-friendly instruction where permitted
• Reflections, city lights, long-exposure water, blue-hour transitions
• Hands-on guidance refining urban compositions
• Color grading and tone management for city nightscapes

• Photographers who love skyline, nightscape, and blue-hour imagery
• Anyone wanting to improve long exposures and urban compositions
