“Brooklyn Bridge: Morning Harmony” isn’t just a photo; it’s a vibe, and it totally captures the chill side of New York City—a city that’s always buzzing but has its moments of pure calm. I was on a mission to find that perfect, quiet angle in this crazy city, something that showed its softer side.
The decision to shoot at dawn instead of the usual sunset time had a significant impact. The soft and mellow morning light painted the sky in delicate shades of blue and pink, creating a dreamy ambiance. It was all about capturing that rare sense of calm that is hard to find in New York City.
I carefully framed the shot to capture the Brooklyn Bridge in the foreground, while also allowing the Manhattan Bridge to be seen in the distance.
After spending weeks taking photos all over the city, this specific spot near the Brooklyn Bridge during dawn had a completely different vibe. This shot is one of my all-time favorites. The bridge holds more significance than being iconic. It was like I discovered a hidden side of NYC, a peaceful moment in the chaos.
