Leyre Cañizares, fotógrafa en Nueva York

Trabajo como fotógrafa profesional especializada en fotografía de bodas, parejas y familias desde hace cinco años. Soy de Madrid y allí es donde comencé a estudiar fotografía, a crear mi web, portfolio y redes sociales.

En Septiembre de 2019 me mudé a vivir a Nueva York con mi pareja. Nada más llegar a la ciudad empecé a tener muchísimo trabajo y pude ir creando portfolio en distintas zonas de la ciudad en pocas semanas. Estoy muy feliz de poder trabajar de lo que más me gusta en una de mis ciudades favoritas del mundo.

The best locations to do a photoshoot in NYC

If you haven’t been in NYC before and want to do a photoshoot, this post may interest you. I’m going to recommend the best places in Manhattan and Brooklyn to take photos with your family, partner, friends or just you.

Most locations are in Central Park, like the Bow Bridge, Bethesda Fountain or the Umpire Rock. Depending on your chosen package, we can visit different locations to do the photoshoot and combine some nearby places. Some famous places like Times Sq, Brooklyn Bridge or the Top of the Rock are usually very crowded, so I’d suggest starting the shooting early in the morning.
