Private Venice Photographic Beach Walking Tour

We will be starting our excursion at the pier, walking along the beach and the boardwalk, and perhaps we'll walk over to the canals - exploring and seeking out great photo opportunities. I'll be able to give you hands-on guidance - give suggestions on composition (if you want) or just lead you to the places where I've always been able to capture magic. It is the place that has inspired the coffee table photo book I am creating; not wax poetic but it has some of the best photo opportunities around nature and man coming together at their finest. And if you don't mind getting your feet wet, but not your camera, I will show you some of the better photo opportunities. This is a customizable and bespoke tour. If we are feeling the pier's magic, we can stay longer, if not, we will continue. It's completely up to the group.

Venice Beach

Bodybuilding", nestled right in the heart of Venice Beach since 1963. Bodybuilders and bodybuilding enthusiasts flock to this outdoor gym to work out and be a part of the bodybuilding tradition. There are sure to be a few photo-worthy shots here - weather permitting! But that's not all we are seeing! We will also be seeing the Iconic Venice Sign - created by Abbot Kinney in 1905 spanning Venice Blvd and Pacific We also have The Townhouse which was the home of Del Monte Speakeasy. The speakeasy ran until Prohibition ended in 1933. After the repeal, the grocery store was scrapped, and the bar re- opened in the upstairs area. The downstairs area became Club Del Monte. It'll likely be closed but the facade is a worthy pic.

Venice Beach Boardwalk

And then there's the Venice Skate Park! Even if you've never been on a skateboard and have no desire to be on one you will love watching the talented people do their thing and capture amazing pictures! The Venice Boardwalk is the route we will be taking back to the pier where the tour began. The boardwalk is vibrant and busy (always keep an eye on your personal property!) You'll be able to capture the vibrant life happening around you. Maybe we'll encounter street musicians or other performers? There are usually all types of photo opportunities that present themselves on the boardwalk. Otherwise, it wouldn't be famous.
