Shooting Around New York City

This trip I had a little more time to get some travel photos. There was a mix of weather to play with as there was sunshine, rain, moody clouds and blue sky all throughout the week. Here are some of my favourite shots:

Lower Manhattan and the Empire State Building viewed from the Rockefeller Center Observatory.

Empire State Building from street level.

Sunshine on a rainy day in Chinatown.

Summer in SoHo

Since my last trip to New York for fashion week I planned to pay another visit, this time shooting editorials and capturing more travel photos. During NYFW I didn't get to see a great deal of the city itself as I was shooting in runway venues during the daytime and editing back in the apartment late at night. So this trip there was more time for exploration.

Here are a few shots from my first editorial on the first Saturday of June with my new US team.
