California Beach Portrait: Ventura Harbor/Beach
Your guide to the best beach-portrait locations in Southern California
Location: Ventura Harbor and ‘Mothers Beach’ (Ventura, California)
Map: link
Photographer: Matt Haines
Features: Harbor for nautical themed images, with beach across the street for a quick change in scenery. Easy parking. Rock jetty, frequent sailboats in the background. West-facing for nice sunset shots.
Challenges: Flat beach requires extra effort on the part of the photographer to make the scene interesting. Permit may be required when shooting at the harbor.
Recommendations: Flexible location, easily accessible. Not dramatic, but certainly useful for a Ventura-centric photo session.
Outstanding pictures! Do you ever go to Utah though?
