Plan for walking
Daily routes cover several miles on paved streets and some stairs—choose supportive shoes and test them beforehand.
Low-light gear
Bring a compact tripod and extra batteries for night cruise and indoor zoo shots where slower shutter speeds help.
Transit-ready
Carry a MetroCard or contactless pay; trains and ferries are the fastest way to move between neighborhoods and the Statue cruise.
Respect animals and exhibits
At the Bronx Zoo avoid flash photography where prohibited and follow keepers’ guidance for safe viewing distances.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive shoes make long urban walks and stairs comfortable during multi-hour shoots.
Compact travel tripod
Enables low-light, night and long-exposure shots on the cruise and cityscapes.
Weather layers (light jacket)
Wind from the river and variable city microclimates mean layering keeps you comfortable through shoots.
Portable power bank
Extra battery power for cameras, phones, and editing tools during full days of shooting.
