About the event

Catch a sunset and capture photos at Muriwai beach!

Join me and fellow creatives for a relaxed evening at one of Auckland’s most scenic beaches.

We’ll meet, chat about the best spots and camera settings for sunset shots, and then head out to capture the coastline, surf, birdlife, and that golden-hour glow.
