1) Wayfarers Chapel

This beautiful church at Rancho Palos Verdes overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The outdoor church is embraced by countless trees and cooling winds, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Son, Lloyd Wright. This elegant church made it on the TV Series, The O.C.! Little did you know. This church is a memorial to Swedenborg, because of his spiritual illumination of the Bible!

2) Abalone Cove Shoreline Park

The magnificent park located in Rancho Palo Verdes has the most fascinating sunset and scenery! The park features two beaches and it also has lots of small marine animals along the beach, which is suitable for a family gathering with your younger siblings! Not only that, but you can also hike along the beach for more spectacular views and pictures!

3) The Getty Villa

The Getty Villa is part of the J. Paul Getty Museum and it is a museum dedicated to ancient Greek and Roman art! UCLA’s Masters program in Archaeological and Ethnographic Conservation is housed on this campus so you can learn educational information while you take your aesthetic pictures for your instagram feed! The classical buildings and antique drawings can definitely be part of your aesthetic feed.

4) Murphy Ranch

This is an abandoned ranch located at Rustic Canyon, which was transformed by street artists with graffiti. Its unique art attracts hikers and tourists! There is a hiking trail next to it, so you can also catch up on some exercise and beautiful nature pictures there!

5) Sunken City

This was originally a surf spot, but unfortunately, a landslide caused all the houses around the area to fall into the ocean. It was then decorated by graffiti, and because it is close to other tourist spots, it is often visited by the tourists! The Sunken City is rather a popular but underrated spot for a picture because it has a Facebook page, yet no one really knows about this place. Perhaps you can be the one to bring up the hype!

Here are five secret places in LA that you can go and have a photoshoot! Hope you will add more variety in your feed!
