Personal: The world famous skyline

Of course you all immediately recognize New York City (Manhattan) by online seeing its skyline ..its contour …the skyscrapers. I’m talking about the most famous skyline out there. For a while, after 9/11, I thought that without those beautiful Twin Towers the skyline would never be as recognizable as before. Luckily the people of New York added a few skyscrapers, one in particular, that really gave back the city that unique skyline. The one that people nowadays immediately associate with New York City.

So one of my goals for my visit to New York in 2014 was to capture that beautiful restored skyline. However, I wanted to capture it from a unique angle to capture its beauty with another perspective. Luckily I was able to shoot from this rooftop in Brooklyn, thanks to my client Ink Global. I wanted to capture it with the beautiful Manhattan Bridge instead of the regular (awesome) Brooklyn Bridge. It was great seeing the skyline now with the finished Freedom Tower (last time I visited NY they were constructing the fifth floor) and its beautiful and respectful Memorial Pool.

“Most beautiful view …for real”

Having drinks with such a view was definitely on our bucket list for New York. And I can say for real that it’s quite something to just sit there …I mean for me it kinda worked inspiring in a way so as I was enjoying my drink I thought of new photography projects. In the end we couldn’t wait to walk beneath those beautiful skyscrapers again so we quickly took the metro back to Manhattan.

So definitely a place to go back to when I’ll visit New York again!
