A camera clicks as the group steps into an intersection of light and motion: yellow cabs, glass towers, and the distant curve of the East River. In a compact hour, a professional photographer steers guests through carefully chosen cityscapes — passerby energy softened by shallow depth of field, skyline lines turned into clean frames. The experience is urban and kinetic, designed to capture people against Manhattan’s architectural moments.

Mind the Light
