Santiago Calatrava is one of the architects I admire most. I have photographed a few of his office buildings before, and something about the way he takes steel and makes it almost a living organism keeps drawing me back to his work. On my trip to New York, the World Trade Center Station was a […]

The New York Stock Exchange at Wall Street is both an architectural icon and a financial landmark of lower Manhattan. I’ve always been fascinated by economics and investment, so the New York Stock Exchange and Wall Street were a must-visit for me and Daria when we were visiting New York. The NYSE has grown alongside […]

The Statue of Liberty stands proudly on Liberty Island and dominates the New York City skyline from its granite pedestal. However, we rarely get a close-up photograph and some details are easy to overlook from a distance, so of course I wanted to have a closer look and I declared it my mission. Whether viewed […]

Some sites are so iconic and photographed so frequently that it almost seems pointless for me to photograph them; what kind of shot can I get that will be different than all the others? Those places can be daunting, but I like the challenge of seeing a familiar place in a new way, of photographing […]

Sometimes, photographs happen by accident. In fact, many of my favorites happened that way. On a trip to New York City, I made the requisite visit to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I had positioned myself along the rail, as tourists typically do, to get the best views of the Manhattan skyline as […]

The Registry Room at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum is the space where millions of people once began their lives in America, and also what most visitors remember long after they leave the island. I think the Ellis Island Immigration Museum was one of the most impressive museum experiences that I’ve had anywhere in the […]

My most vivid memory of photographing the New York Panorama sunset was from the Rockefeller Center on a rainy day. The rain was on and off, creating ever-changing reflections over the streets below. But I knew the best moment was coming after the rain stopped, when the atmosphere still lingered in the air. That’s when […]

As you know, I always try to book a hotel with a view. In Manhattan, that was a must for me. Immense gratitude to the Residence Inn New York Manhattan/Central Park that gave us a corner room with which we could not only view Times Square but could also capture this photo of the so-called Billionaires’ Row. […]

Macy’s Herald Square. Gosh, this shopping mall killed me. No, not as you might expect. Not because Daria had to go shopping for dresses. It was just that I’m a sucker for colours. And I absolutely loved how they installed the rainbow colours for the Pride celebration at Macy’s. When we walked down Broadway and […]

Grand Central Terminal was high on my must-visit list for New York City. As a traveller, train stations have always fascinated me. And this one has become so iconic, displayed in so many movies, that I had to see and capture it for myself. As I walked around, I couldn’t help but wonder just how […]

The Central Park in New York. First, I wanted to capture it from above. Thanks to the great team at the Marriott Residence Inn, we could make this happen by having access to the rooftop. Next was actually to get into Central Park and experience it. It’s hard to describe how massive it is, just […]

When we arrived in New York, I quickly missed some nature. Yes, there is Central Park, but not from everywhere that’s quick to reach. In Berlin, I was used to “Decentral” parks – all over the city. So I was pretty happy when we finally spent some time in the High Line Park. It’s a […]

Yesterday I already showed you a photo of the Trump Tower with the iconic clock, today we have a look inside! As you can see in this photo of the Trump Tower Interior, it hosts a little “museum”. Or a collection of memorials. It’s all about Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United […]

It’s more controversial to say this in 2023 than it would have been in 2013: Visiting Trump Tower was a must-do for me when visiting Manhattan for the first time. I still remember watching “The Apprentice” with Donald Trump in 2010. Or better, binge-watching it. Before that, my dad was gifting me a book “Think […]

Times Square in Manhattan is known as “the crossroads of the world,” or modestly as “the centre of the universe.” Sometimes it is more poetically referred to as “the heart of the Great White Way.” And who isn’t familiar with shots of this corner of Manhattan during the annual New Year’s celebrations? These terms […]

These skyscrapers just in front of Central Park in New York are some of the most exclusive apartment buildings in the world. Because they are located almost on one street, this part of Manhattan is called “Billionaires’ Row“. Nico captured this view of Central Park and Billioners’ Row, thanks to the courtesy of the Residence […]
