When looking for beach

photo shoot ideas

and locations consider El Matador State Beach in Malibu, California. A simple google search will show you that this is one of the most photographed beaches in California and also one of the most beautiful. While there are permitting restrictions for commercial photo shoots, they are easy to navigate as long as you carry proper liability insurance. Check out the Department of Beaches and Harbor’s website for permitting details at http://beaches.co.la.ca.us/BandH/Permits/Main.htm#beachuse. You must apply for the permit a couple weeks before the shoot and they will only allow weekday shoots. Once you get into the system all state beaches and parks can be permitted in this way. Check out the different landscapes here which are constantly changing depending on the time of day or month of the year. I like to shoot here 1 hour before the sun goes down to get the best natural light. We have shot here for engagements, portraits, senior portraits, and family images.
