NY is now officially issuing permits for Central Park Again!

Central Park has been the backdrop for many Vogue Covers and other shoots for luxury fashion and beauty campaigns.

Every brand I work with has the same concern... avoid looking bridal or overly commercial. This can be easily done by carefully choosing the locations and background textures while carefully co-ordinating with time to ensure the lighting and mood always elevates the brand.

The various locations in Central Park make it one of the best outdoor locations of choice in the city. Below I have curated some of the more famous photoshoots from Vogue and other iconic brands.
