Times Square Photoshoot Idea #3 – Shoot from a low angle to fill the frame with billboards & buildings

Shoot from a low angle when posing on one of the barricades or benches to capture all of the billboards and buildings surrounding Times Square! The billboards are usually for Broadway shows or stores, so captures the perfect Big Apple feel.

Times Square Photoshoot Idea #4 – Shoot in the middle of Times Square for a wide angle shot

Capture the entire scene of Times Square with a wide angle lens and in the middle of the pedestrian area. My favorite spot to shoot this is facing north between 47th and 46th street to capture the iconic Coca Cola sign.
