8 best photo spots in New York

New York or, as it is also called, the "Big Apple" is located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. This is a city of hopes and desires, bright lights and dizzyingly high skyscrapers. He is known for numerous American films and has served as an inspiration for thousands of photographers. If you are lucky enough to go to this legendary city for a few days, be prepared for the fact that your hand will constantly reach for the camera, because almost every street in New York is photogenic. And so that you do not get confused by such a variety, we offer you a list of 8 places where you can definitely take the most beautiful and interesting pictures.

DUMBO

Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, or DUMBO for short, is an area in Northwest Brooklyn between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. At first glance, it seems ordinary, but many tourists and photographers come here to take a picture from a popular angle. Washington Street offers a great view of the tower of the Manhattan Bridge between the houses. In Dumbo, you will also find Empire Fulton Fairy Park at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, and as you get closer to Manhattan, you will find yourself in Main Street Park. Walking along the East River, you can capture yourself against the backdrop of these two world-famous giants. True, separately, because the distance between them is still significant. Finally, we advise you to look under the arch of the Manhattan Bridge - installations are constantly changing there and you will definitely not be left without a couple of interesting shots.

Times Square

Many people think of Times Square when they hear the word New York. True, New Yorkers themselves are not enthusiastic about this place because of the huge number of tourists and traffic jams. It is interesting to see Times Square at any time, but it is better to come here at sunset or at night, when numerous screens turn the area into a bright kaleidoscope of colors. For a postcard-like photo, stand with your back to the small Duffy Square and you will have a view of the buildings with colorful posters and blinding TV screens. It remains only to wait for the yellow taxi and it's in the bag! If you notice a puddle not far from you, go up to it and bring the lens as close to the water as possible, trying to fit part of the buildings and their reflection into one frame. Just be careful!

If you get a good shot, I recommend watermarking these photos before posting them online. The easiest way to add a watermark is to use the Visual Watermark app. It can add a watermark to a group of photos at a time, and includes many fonts and effects that let you create your own watermark.

Central Park

A huge rectangular green island, spread out in the upper part of Manhattan, is Central Park. If you feel that the stone jungle is pressing on you, come here to enjoy nature. On the left south side, there is a view of Columbus Circle, and on the right, the luxurious Plaza Hotel. In the depths of the park, the famous Bethesda is located - this is a fountain with an adjacent two-tiered terrace, which has flashed more than once in American films. Photographers love the arcade on the lower level for its symmetrical arches, so if you want to take a portrait, it's best to stand at the entrance to the fountain with the arcade behind you. Near Bethesda is the white Bow Bridge, which overlooks the lake and the tall buildings of the Upper West Side. And it's perfect for portraits! Central Park will impress you with its scale, and here you will find hundreds of photogenic corners, so we advise you to set aside at least half a day to explore it.

Grand Central Terminal

This oldest train station in New York has inspired generations of photographers to create visual masterpieces. When you find yourself in the main hall of the station, do not forget to look up - at the ceiling with the image of the Milky Way motif. Interesting shots are hidden everywhere, but the place with the best angle is right in front of you. To do this, you need to climb one of the stairs at the far ends of the hall: there you will have a view of a crowd of people hurrying about their business. If you want to take a portrait, position your subject near the main entrance, facing the three large windows. From the outside, the building of the Central Station is no less impressive. Made in the Bozar style, it looks very contrasting with the surrounding skyscrapers. Another advantage of this location is that the famous Chrysler Building is right next to each other, so you can try to fit two landmarks in one shot.

One World Trade Center

Construction of the World Trade Center 1 ended not so long ago, but it has already gained popularity among photographers and tourists. At the moment, the Freedom Tower - another name for the center - is in the top 10 tallest skyscrapers in the world. It is best to photograph it by moving away a couple of blocks and placing the building clearly between the rows of houses. Near the center you will see the national September 11 memorial, consisting of two fountains where the destroyed towers were. You can stand near the far corner of one of them and try to fit the fountain along with the blue skyscraper in the frame, or get closer to the glass giant, look up and take a picture. There is another curiosity in this complex - a white structure that looks like the skeleton of a leviathan. This is the Oculus transport hub. An interesting picture will be obtained if you photograph the Freedom Tower through its white “knuckles”. World Trade Center 1 has a paid indoor observation deck, which we advise you to visit if your finances allow, because this is a unique opportunity to look at the city from a height of a hundredth floor.

Chinatown

Chinatown, located in Lower Manhattan, is full of colorful signs with Chinese characters, as if transporting you to the streets of Beijing or Shanghai. Various shops with oriental curiosities, cafes and restaurants, red Chinese lanterns, street vendors selling fruits and trinkets - a real expanse for photographers! This area is ideal for street shooting, as well as a great backdrop for a portrait; you just need to find a narrow street with bright signs and stand with your back to them so that the photographer can fit both them and you in the frame. You can also pose with golden cat figurines that bring good luck. In addition, we advise you to climb the Manhattan Bridge - the footpath is on the right side. From here you can enjoy picturesque views of several streets of Chinatown and skyscrapers standing in the distance.

The High Line

The High Line is a unique park built on the site of a non-operational elevated railway. Its length is almost two and a half kilometers, and it is located at a height of ten meters. Walking along this man-made miracle, you will feel as if you are in a serene oasis in the middle of the stone jungle from houses soaring into the sky. People come here to dine under the open sky, read a book or just take a break from the frantic pace of the metropolis. The High Line attracts photographers because it offers great views of the streets, intersections and avenues of the Meatpacking District and the Chelsea area. You can get into the park from several streets, a complete list of which is listed on the official website of the High Line.

SoHo

You won’t find any famous landmarks like Empire State Building in here, but don’t cross it off your list of must-visit places. At the end of the last century this neighborhood was a hangout of artistic Bohemia and now it’s swamped with numerous shops, bars, cafes and restaurants with stylish facades. Photographers love SoHo mainly for old buildings with zigzag fire escapes. Many of these houses are even listed to have historical importance. SoHo is one of those beautiful, picturesque neighborhoods, every corner of which you would want to photograph. It can be a perfect background for a portrait and those who love street photography will be inspired by its vivacity and liveliness. In the windows of shops and cafes you can take an interesting shots of reflections.
