SAN FRANCISCO THROUGH THE LENS
- Learn how to “make” photos rather than just “take” them! Featuring one of the best vantage points to view the San Francisco Bay and skyline, your guest rooms at FS Embarcadero become a virtual classroom to discover the city through a private photo class with award-winning photographer Adam Jacobs. These online sessions will teach you how to capture images of the iconic landmarks seen from your windows. Whether you want to learn about landscape imagery, focus on food photography or capture frame-worthy family shots, Adam will lead you on an exciting, personalized lesson from the comfort of your room. No matter your level of expertise (beginners are encouraged!) and equipment (from iPhones to the latest DSLR), Adam will equip you with tips and tricks when you explore the Embarcadero or Golden Gate Bridge, so you can take home lasting memories of your experience at FS Embarcadero. Choose from two options:
In-Room Photography Experience
Held in the comfort of your guest room and the hotel’s Sky Bridge, connect with Adam virtually and learn the best tips for capturing San Francisco’s iconic skyline and California’s spectacular sunsets.
Embarcadero Photo Adventure
Learn photographic techniques as well as pro tips and tricks from Adam online, before venturing out and capturing specific landmarks on a one-hour, self-guided walking tour around the city. Then, reconnect with Adam online as you review your photos, learn best practices and fine-tune your own set of images.
