In this video, I highlight 30 locations in New York for architectural photography. I share some classic locations and some newer structures that I have shot with my Nikon D850. This video will be a good resource for photographers who live or travel to NYC and want to shoot great architecture.

1 Centre Street. The ground level of the David N. Dinkins Manhattan Municipal Building. It's just off Brooklyn Bridge. It has incredible vaulted ceilings , columns and arches. If you go during the summer early evening, you get incredible shadows. Check it out. Keep shooting. Have fun . Be safe guys.

Fond memories of my trip to NYC last year but I want to return and this time purely a architectural photography visit and not a vacation as seeing your locations Jay shows I only scratched the surface

Fantastic photos Jay, glad I found your channel too! Greeting from across the Pond (Liverpool, UK). Love NYC and so I followed all 30 locations there on the 3D map too, to help visualise them. Superb 👌

What a great collection of your work, great commentary, and I especially appreciate the comments about time, direction and location. Without this, a trip to NYC would be hit and miss. Now, I have a "roadmap" of great locations. Thanks so much! I enjoy your channel, and love your work,.

Jay, thanks so much for this truly excellent content. For me it was very timely, as I'm planning a visit to NYC (my hometown) in June and while I've photographed some of these locations, many were unknown to me and will definitely be on my shot list.

Awesome Video! Many many hours to travel and research all condensed into a 15 minute video. Thank you! As lovely as the images are, it is the postprocessing (converting to B&W, enhanced contrast) that really make these images.

Jay, do you ever hold or plan to hold live workshops? Or at least have a full tutorial? Thanks

Thanks for the great locations, planning to travel to NYC to do some architecture photography. I've been there before, but not since the new skyline. Just wondering, do sell your work, if so, is there a market to sell fine art architecture photography?

@robertnear7470 4 ай бұрын

Great video and amazing images. I noticed you were using a tripod in many locations, I was told that they do not alow tripods for photography in NYC unless you have a permit, is this true?

@JCImagesBehindtheShot 4 ай бұрын

Thanks Robert! It depends on the location. I have been approached by security many times. When I shoot very early, they seem to care less.

Thanks Jay, great video. I'm an amateur architectural photographer, and I'm visiting NYC (staying downtown near Battery Park) for a few days in early May. I was wondering if you could recommend some focal lengths or specific lenses to bring along? I'm shooting full frame with a 12-24/2.8, 16-35/4, 24-70/2.8, 70-200/2.8, 100-400 and a bunch of wide and fast primes. I have a small tripod and screw-on ND filters for all except the 12-24. I'm looking to bring only 2 or 3 lenses - any suggestions on which ones to bring along?

@JCImagesBehindtheShot 4 ай бұрын

Thanks Chris! Personally, I would take the 16-35, 24-70, and 70-200. The super wide lens I know is heavy and you probably could do most things with the 16-35. If you are staying in the city, the very long legs would not be that useful in my opinion. Feel free to reach out with any other questions.

After seeing your video on it, i went to shoot Landmark Tower in Stamford. Coming from the Hartford area early AM was quite the journey. I got yelled at by security. Did they harass you too or just me? Love your videos fellow CTizen edit: 11:08 you nuisance! LOL

@JCImagesBehindtheShot 3 ай бұрын

Fortunately, they did not bother me. I was shooting on an island on the middle of Broad Street, so I wasn’t technically on the property. I did not try to get too close for fear of them chasing me away.

Modern architecture mostly looks like shards of broken glass. Downtown Manhattan (Chinatown, Little Italy, SOHO, Wall St) have some wonderful classic architecture.

Agreed!
