ABOUT
LAGUNA BAY.

Laguna Bay started in 2021, and we’ve grown through the support of our community and the incredible clients and collaborators who have invited us into their worlds.

Based in Berkeley, California, we make photographs and films for organizations, businesses, artists, and people with something to share. From gatherings and portraits to larger story-driven projects, our mission is simple: help people tell their stories in the best way possible.

We care about making work that feels human, thoughtful, and true to the people behind it: work that helps others understand what you do, why it matters, and who you are.

Laguna Bay is led by photographer, director, and executive producer Hunter Cates. We build teams around each project, working with a trusted network of creative and production collaborators across the Bay Area and beyond. That structure keeps us close to the work while giving each production the crew and resources it actually needs.
