SF State Graduation Photographer / Photo Spots

Best SF State Graduation Photo Spots

My favorite places to shoot grad portraits at SFSU, with the best time of day for each. In a session we usually cover two or three of these, routed so the light and crowds work in your favor.

Administration Building

Best time: Late morning

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

Campus Library Area

Best time: Midday

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

Lake Merced Nearby

Best time: Late afternoon

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

SF Extensions (Dolores Park, GGP)

Best time: Golden hour

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