NYC by Air
An ongoing project of mine has been to capture New York’s beauty by drone at various “magic” hours. I finally have a collection of some favorites to share. Moonrise, moonset, golden hour, and night are all represented. Enjoy!
Night Cityscape Vol. 4
My ongoing love affair with photographing the city at night continues. These are some of my favorite recent shots, particularly with the cloud cover and variety of dazzling lights on the skyline.
Strawberry Milkshake (Cityscapes at Dawn)
It's an odd title, I know- but the pinkish hue of the clouds and fog on overcast mornings reminds me of a strawberry milkshake! I love that the colors at this time of day are subtle but still so punchy and bold in the context of the image. The tints of the sky in mornings and evenings are so unique they're unmistakable.
Night Cityscapes Vol. 3
Who needs sleep? This is the third part of my New York at night series, and currently my favorite collection of shots from my favorite time of day to shoot. I selected these images to showcase a variety of architecture, weather conditions, and lighting all captured once the sun goes down. If you're also a fan of nighttime photography, check out Volume 1 and Volume 2 of this series, and rest assured that there will be more soon.
Crescent Moon in the City Vol. 2
It took me more than a year to put this series together. Shooting the moon in relation to the skyline requires patience- you have to wait until it's positioned where you want it in the sky, and then hope the weather cooperates. Any combination of clouds, fog or ambient light pollution can ruin the shot. Then you have to wait for the moon to return to the same place in the sky and keep your fingers crossed for better weather. But when it all works out, the results are magical. Take a look at the previous series.
Hazy Sun in The City
Wildfires covered the West Coast in September 2020. There was so much smoke in the sky that it got to the East Coast. I Have captured some photos with the sun in the frame, really rear for me but the sun looks insane.

Two Bridges (New York)
Two Bridges neighborhood located between Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge on the Island. The views that open up are stunning. I have shot in different conditions there and must say every time there is something new to it.
