I couldn’t get enough of it this year, and took every opportunity to go over and take photos. Whether you climb it to the top (easier than it looks!) and capture photos looking down, or whether you just stand at the bottom and capture photos looking up – the sculpture is beautiful from all angles. I don’t know if this is as much of a secret anymore, but this relatively new sculpture only opened in 2019 – and it’s a pretty stunning sight to behold. Mostly, I love the symmetry of Conservatory Water – there’s something so satisfying about those reflections! I love it there – I’ve spent many an afternoon chatting to locals on the benches and snapping lovely photos. It’s really quiet up there, and it’s the spot in the park favoured by local dog walkers and families. This is a little higher up in the park that a lot of tourist go, and it’s kind of hidden away on the east side too. Next up on my list of secret places to take pictures in NYC, this beautiful lake. You can book the helicopter photography workshop by clicking here.
You end up with once-in-a-lifetime images that you can’t stop looking at – they’re so different and unique. You actually spend the flight with the door of the helicopter open too (which is so cool!) so there’s no glare or obstacles to capturing the perfect shot. It’s a real challenge (because it’s so different to normal photography scenarios) but it’s so much fun and the output in terms of images is amazing. So go up, enjoy a cocktail (or two!) and take some amazing photos of one of the world’s most iconic buildings.įor a completely different perspective and some really ‘wow’ images – a helicopter photography workshop is an amazing way to spend the day. If you want a really stunning, uninterrupted shot of the Empire State, this is the place to get it. The bar itself is great (delicious drinks and food) but it’s the view you go for. The Skylark bar is hidden away on top of a random skyscraper just outside of Times Square. It’s a great chance to get some aerial shots of the city, especially from a slightly quirky and unseen angle. It’s mainly used for commuters, and isn’t really a huge tourist attraction which is kind of surprising given the amazing views (and why it makes my list of secret places to take pictures in NYC). It’s job is to connect Roosevelt Island to the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and it basically passes over the city and provides the most stunning photo opportunities. This beautiful photo opportunity is an aerial tramway in the upper east side of NYC that spans the East River ( located here). You can capture the most stunning photos of the manhattan skyline from here. That’s the spot I’m talking about, and it’s really something special. The main market is on the ground floor, but they actually have a lesser known rooftop dining area with a patio and terrace too. The Time Out Market is a relatively new place in the city, in DUMBO right on the riverfront. This amazing secret places to pictures in NYC is right under everyone’s nose (or over it – as it’s a rooftop!). So here are my favourite photography spots, that tend to be a little more hidden from tourists and tour groups. The hidden gems and the secret places to take pictures in NYC are usually where you’ll capture your best shots. NYC is a photographers dream, but it can get a little bit crowded, so it’s no wonder you’re looking for secret places to take pictures in NYC. Just when you think you’ve explored every corner, you find a new angle, a new neighbourhood or a new street.
No matter how many times I visit NYC, I always find more amazing places to take photographs. Are you looking for some new secret places to take pictures in NYC?
