Join us for Bunkers by the Bay, a one-of-a-kind, full-day portrait lighting workshop set in the dramatic concrete bunkers of the Marin Headlands. This class is all about advanced portrait lighting techniques—but here’s the best part: these are skills that any photographer can master.
Whether you're a passionate hobbyist or a seasoned photographer, this hands-on workshop will teach you how to confidently control and shape light in some of the most creatively rich environments you'll ever shoot in. With expert guidance and real-time demonstrations, you'll discover that advanced lighting isn’t just for the pros—it’s for anyone ready to learn.

This is a portrait lighting workshop, not a landscape or general photography class. We are laser-focused on helping you level up your portrait work through smart, intentional use of light.

Leave the driving to us! We provide round-trip transportation from our Sacramento-area meeting point, so you can focus entirely on the creative experience.

What You’ll Learn:

• Advanced off-camera flash techniques using Westcott lights and Modifiers
• How to balance ambient and artificial light for mood and impact
• Lighting in tight, shadowy, or harsh environments
• Working effectively with models in visually complex locations
• Creating depth, drama, and storytelling through light

If you’ve been wanting to push past your comfort zone and make your portraits stand out, Bunkers by the Bay will give you the tools, techniques, and confidence to do it. Advanced lighting starts here—and yes, you can master it.
