Campus locations

Where we shoot at SFSU

Administration Building

Classic campus backdrop with strong architectural lines. The steps and entrance work well for formal portraits.

Campus Library Area

Clean, modern surroundings with good ambient light. Less crowded than the main hub on most shoot days.

Lake Merced Nearby

A short walk from campus. Natural setting with water and trees — good contrast from campus architecture.

SF Extensions (Dolores Park, GGP)

If you want San Francisco in the background, we can build an itinerary that includes campus and nearby SF spots in the same session.
