Cannon Beach Sunrise or Sunset Photography Workshop
Join me for a half-day photography workshop at one of Oregon’s most iconic coastal locations—Cannon Beach. Depending on your preference, we’ll head out early to capture a peaceful ocean sunrise or arrive later to photograph the golden glow of sunset behind Haystack Rock. This workshop is ideal for anyone looking to expand their skills in coastal landscape photography with personalized guidance in a stunning location.
Itinerary
​
-
Sunrise or Sunset Session at Cannon Beach
Our photography session will center around the dramatic shoreline of Cannon Beach, where we’ll capture the changing light on the Pacific Ocean, the towering Haystack Rock, and reflections in the wet sand. During low tide, we’ll also explore the tide pools and rock formations for interesting foregrounds and compositions.
-
Ecola State Park Viewpoints (Optional based on timing and weather)
If time and light permit, we’ll visit one or two viewpoints at nearby Ecola State Park to shoot the coastline from above, offering a variety of wide-angle and telephoto compositions of sea stacks, forested cliffs, and the Pacific horizon.

Additional Highlights
​
-
Tips on working with changing light conditions near water, including slow shutter techniques for wave motion.
-
Opportunities for dramatic compositions using reflections, silhouettes, and leading lines in the sand.

Personalized instruction for photographers of all skill levels.
