There are so many reasons I love Los Angeles. The thing that mostly draws me
here, are the many different urban borough's within the city limits.
Today I am focusing on Venice and Venice Beach.
If you search either name on Instagram you find photos varying so greatly you
will wonder if they were all taken in the same place.
I am going to show you all of my favorite places in Venice to get unique and
amazing photos.
It doesn't matter if you are a professional photographer or shoot with an
iphone! You will find yourself with photos that will liven up your Instagram
feed
Lets start on Abbot Kinney Blvd.
A street that is full of unique boutiques and trendy restaurants.
Graffiti art is a common theme on this street, my favorite being the Love wall.
A wall full of multi colored hearts that just makes you feel happy and loved.
When I saw it I just knew I had to do a family shoot there.
Why not my family? So I grabbed the tripod and we got some awesome shots
seen below
THE VENICE CANALS
Here is a Venice secret you probably didn't know.
The Venice Canal Historic District has man-made canals built in 1905
by Abbot Kinney himself!
He was recreating the appearance and feel of Venice, Italy.
The canals and arched bridges are pedestrian and photo friendly.
Today they are still a desirable and expensive residential section of the city.
Check these out!
I photographed a model along the canals last summer and
we had a blast while capturing some unique shots.
MUSCLE BEACH
I am sure you all have heard of the famous muscle beach.
I wasn't sure this actually existed till I saw it.
An outdoor gym surrounded by a caged fence.
Honestly it reminds me of a prison yard.
However it is an icon and a must see location on a trip to Venice.
Make sure to keep your camera in hand,
you never know who you will run into there.
On our last trip we bumped into my son's idol and you tube sensation IKE.
He is one of the regulars and its so fun to watch them bench press people
above their heads.
THE STREETS OF VENICE
This is just the tip of the iceberg for photo worthy spots in Venice.
You cant leave without photographing the Venice street sign
on the corners of Pacific and Windward Streets.
The skate park, roller skate girls and graffiti walls can not be missed.
If nothing else take a walk down the strand or Venice streets.
You will keep discovering and inventing your own photo spots!!
Have fun!!
