One of my favorite areas to photograph in all of New York City is SoHo. The Belgian block streets and the Cast Iron buildings give the neighborhood a unique feel. It has changed significantly over the years transforming from an area of manufacturing to it’s modern day high end fashion trendy shopping oasis. While some might find it a tourist trap, there are still many locals, including myself, that visit the area regularly. I’ve spent many mornings lined up at Dominique Ansel Bakery to get a cronut. As a New Yorker, I usually don’t like waiting for anything but it’s really that good.
I see people taking photos all over SoHo. It really is quite a photogenic neighborhood that is very easy to find great places for that memorable photo. It’s tall buildings that provide shade even in the brightest of days and that really helps in finding light that isn’t too harsh in the middle of the day. SoHo can be quite crowded, especially on the weekends even when it’s cold outside. In the Summer, certain streets like Prince or Spring can become so congested it can be difficult to get anywhere fast. Of course, there are blocks and times when you can get some fantastic photo opportunities.
