Fall light before the winter shift.

#Lightroom #moodNYC
Curved Central Park road with cars passing through late-fall trees under textured clouds. Empire State Building beside an active construction site, fall sun casting sharp shadows across the skyline. Row of older NYC apartments with fire escapes, strong sunlight creating patterned shadows. People walking inside a glass-walled lobby near Bryant Park, long fall shadows stretching across the floor.

Light and form in focus.
NYC architecture in black and white.

#Photography #BlackAndWhite #Architecture #NYC #LightAndShadow
A tall historic skyscraper in New York City, photographed from a low angle in black and white, showing sunlight hitting its stone façade and detailed cornices. The curved exterior of the Guggenheim Museum in black and white, with dramatic clouds framing its smooth concrete texture. A modern glass high-rise reflecting nearby buildings, captured in sharp light and shadow with strong geometric lines.

Morning light hits a narrow Manhattan street lined with trucks and taxis, with sunlight reflecting off buildings. A vintage turquoise car drives through a busy Midtown intersection as pedestrians cross under evening lights. Neon signs and colorful building lights glow at dusk in Times Square as people walk under the fading sunset sky.

Scaffolding vibes in black and white.

#newyork #Lightroom
Black and white photo of a person walking under scaffolding on a New York City sidewalk. Morning sunlight casts strong shadows across the pavement, with the person’s silhouette stretched long in front. Buildings and trees frame the street in the distance.

Black-and-white street photograph of a man in a long coat and wide-brimmed hat, standing with his back to the camera and leaning against a marble pillar, holding a plastic shopping bag. His reflection is visible in a rain-speckled glass wall beside him. Black-and-white street photograph of an older man with a white beard, wearing a long coat, wide-brimmed hat, and striped tie, holding a plastic shopping bag and resting his hand on a marble pillar, with an out-of-focus city street in the background.

Aerial view of Manhattan at night, with the Chrysler Building illuminated among surrounding skyscrapers. City lights form a glowing grid across the streets, creating a vibrant and cinematic atmosphere.

Channeling Norman Rockwell.
Remember when hanging out with your dad or playing with your reflection felt like everything?

Shot on iPhone. Edited in Lightroom Mobile.

A father and child with backpacks stand closely in front of a New York City subway map. The child looks up as they plan their next stop together. A young girl in a rainbow dress and striped tights bends over to study her reflection on a sidewalk, half-hidden beside an adult in sneakers and a black skirt.

From yellow cabs back to the future. To music in green sunshine-lit walks to blue buses. Walks turn into photo walks when you see the light. There is always a subject to shoot.

#StreetPhotography #PhotoWalk #UrbanVibes #VisualStorytelling #CandidPhotography #shotoniphone #Lightroom
A vintage yellow taxi with its door open parked beside a modern yellow cab, both framed by trees and morning light at a quiet city intersection. A woman in a crisp white shirt holding her phone and a woven bag, paused mid-step under warm scaffolding shadows. A man in glasses and headphones walking through a shaded park path, lost in thought, while another figure walks away with an umbrella. Two transit workers in navy uniforms on a city street, one glancing toward the camera while the other speaks on the phone, standing against a blue bus.

A downpour in the city turns the streets gray. Mobile photography and mobile editing.

Two street photos from New York City. Everyday scenes like these make street photography rewarding. Real people, real moments, no setup.

Early morning iPhone walk.

Early morning view of Midtown Manhattan outside NBC Studios, featuring quiet streets, soft golden light, and tall buildings with clean vertical lines. The scene feels calm and cinematic with warm tones and clear shadows.

Pixels and patterns + classic and modern

#architecturephotography #cityscape #lightroomediting
A tightly framed vertical shot of several tall buildings in a city. On the left, a brown brick building with balconies stands next to a slender, modern skyscraper with teal-tinted reflective glass. To the right, another building with a grid of windows is visible. A historic red brick building with ornate architectural details stands in the foreground, its facade angled upwards. In the background, a modern skyscraper reflects the sky and other buildings in its blue and white patterned glass windows.

Just a thirsty pigeon taking a quick break. Even city birds know the importance of a good hydration.

#streetphotography #urbanphotography #NYC
A close-up, slightly high-angle shot shows a gray and black speckled pigeon with its head dipped down, appearing to drink from a wet, textured reddish-brown surface. The pigeon's tail feathers are raised and crossed in the air.
