“The City is a built dream, a vision incarnated. What makes it grow is its image of itself.”
– Peter Conrad
This portfolio consists of black and white New York cityscape photography, including both architecture and street details. Included are images of Midtown & Downtown icons, Grand Central Terminal, the subway system, Central Park, the Chrysler Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, Washington Square Park, the Empire State Building, and NYC skyline black and white prints, amongst others.
These photographs were taken at all times of day and in a variety of environments, including night photography, snowstorms, rain, and at sunset.
All photographs are available as fine art prints or for commercial and licensing purposes as high-resolution files. Large-scale & acrylic framed prints are available as well.
Archival Photographic Prints
After studying photography and printing at the International Center for Photography in the early ’00s, I’ve been obsessively photographing New York City ever since. And as a part-time historian and NYC guide, I can’t imagine there are many who have walked the city more in that timeframe.
My archive consists of both the unique, daily life in the city, as well as the classic and popular views, including the skyscrapers, skyline, Central Park, and architectural marvels, in all seasons. I work with major firms, art buyers, interior designers, and architects. I love the art of printing, getting to create, experience, and then share a little treasure.
All prints are made with museum-quality archival photography paper, are signed, and come with a certificate of authenticity. Prints are offered in a variety of sizes, I can handle or advise on framing, and I offer installation planning and services. Installing the finished products on walls is one of the most satisfying parts of the job.
In my spare time, I am also a documentary and street photographer, and I have captured a large variety of happenings around the city. I can also send customized selections of work for review based on your interests and needs.
Bridges & Waterfront
From the cast iron bow shape of Bow Bridge, to the majesty of a Brooklyn Bridge photo print, New York’s bridges have strength and elegence.
The the classic views of DUMBO, where the Manhattan Bridge becomes a drawn frame through the street; from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, lower Manhattan looks like a stage. And in Sunset Park, you can sit in a peaceful spot on rocks on the water and look at the iconic World Trade Center and Downtown New York in gorgeous light. Or sitting on a pier, where you capture a classic nyc skyline black and white print.
Midtown Icons — Empire, Chrysler, Flatiron
Art Deco crowns and setbacks, winter sun on limestone, hard edges at dusk. A Chrysler Building photo print is always classic and iconic, no matter how you choose to photograph it. The metallic exterior shines as the sunlight hits its sharp angles.
An Empire State Building photo print typically is more classic and understaded, but can be seen from much further away. For a Flatiron Building photo print wherever and however you photograph it, the photo will feel elegant. And especially when you mix this with creating black and white New York City prints, it is a powerful combination for a wall.
Downtown Icons
As my main tour and workshop route heads through SoHo and into Tribeca, I have collected a gigantic archive of downtown icons, particularly the cast iron buildings of SoHo, the iconic Law & Order, views of City Hall, and the traditional red, yellow, and green streets of Chinatown.
Lower Manhattan is an ever-growing glass skyline over old streets. A One World Trade Center photo print is iconic, and the building can be seen from many places in the city. Especially from the Manhattan Bridge, NYC skyline black and white prints look spectacular in midday or sunset.
Grand Central & Beaux-Arts
Grand Central is a decadent and delicate. In monochrome the concourse turns to rhythm—arches, windows, stairs—and the pause between trains becomes the subject. Waiting for the rush.
Alongside a Grand Central Terminal photo print, you’ll find Beaux-Arts studies elsewhere in the city as beautiful black and white New York City prints.
Night & Long Exposure
At night the city sparkles and glows—lampposts, store windows, occasional neon, or from the headlights of cars.
:Night is classic. NYC skyline black and white prints and the occasional long exposure New York City print will look gorgeous on a wall with an elegant frame.
Central Park in Black & White
Since I was a child, I loved to get lost in Central Park at night, walk Bow Bridge and by the lake, sit in the Ramble (with friends), go to Bethesda terrace and photograph the grand cavern that is Literary Walk, the southern end of which is called Poets’ Walk.
These black and white New York prints from Central Park show classic cityscape views
