New York City: Personal travel and vacation photographer

Capture Your NYC Moments with a Personal Photographer

Are you dreaming of timeless photos that truly capture the spirit of New York City? This 30-minute private photoshoot offers just that — a chance to have a professional photographer guide you through some of the city’s most iconic spots, whether in Manhattan or Brooklyn. For $235 per group (up to five people), you’ll get 30 to 50 edited photos delivered within 48 hours, making it a convenient and memorable way to commemorate your trip.

What we love about this experience is how personalized it feels. First, the photographer’s expertise—with 14 years of experience, Marcio Honorato knows just how to make you look your best, whether it’s capturing your natural smile or finding the perfect angle in bustling Times Square. Second, the flexibility — you get to choose between Manhattan or Brooklyn, two very different neighborhoods that each tell a unique story about New York, and your guide will suggest the best spots for your style.

A potential consideration? The duration is only 30 minutes, which is perfect for a quick keepsake but might feel a bit rushed if you’re looking for a more extensive shoot. Also, transportation to the locations isn’t included, so you should plan on walking or arranging your own transit.

This tour best suits travelers who want a professional, personalized photo session that captures their time in NYC without taking up too much of their day. It’s ideal for families, couples, or small groups eager to get high-quality photos without the hassle of a longer, more complicated shoot.

Exploring the Details of the NYC Photoshoot

When we consider a quick, 30-minute photoshoot like this, it’s best viewed as a special snapshot of your visit rather than a full day of photography. The key value here is professional guidance—your photographer, Marcio Honorato, will help you with posing and find the best angles, ensuring you don’t have to worry about looking natural or out of place in front of the camera.

You’ll start by meeting your photographer at a pre-arranged location, ready to explore either the bright lights of Manhattan’s Times Square and Rockefeller Plaza or the vibrant streets of Brooklyn. The choice between neighborhoods really influences the mood of your photos: Manhattan offers a bustling, energetic backdrop, while Brooklyn can give you a more relaxed, artsy vibe with its unique neighborhoods and bridges.

In Times Square, you’ll love the way the neon lights, giant billboards, and crowds create a lively, unmistakable New York scene. Your photographer will help you find the best angles, maybe suggesting a shot with the bright screens behind you or capturing candid moments amid the crowds. At Rockefeller Plaza, you can expect more polished, iconic shots with the famous skating rink (in winter) or the towering NBC building as a backdrop.

In Brooklyn, your guide might suggest capturing the Brooklyn Bridge, the colorful street art of Williamsburg, or the charming streets of DUMBO, all offering a very different, more relaxed New York vibe. These spots are perfect for travelers who want a mix of cityscape and authentic neighborhood shots.

The photos, delivered within 48 hours, include all images from the session—roughly 30 to 50 edited photos—so you’re not paying extra for additional shots. The quick turnaround is especially handy if you’re leaving town soon or want to use the images for a last-minute holiday card.

While the cost of $235 might seem modest for professional photography, it’s important to recognize the value of convenience and quality you’re getting. Having a seasoned photographer guide you ensures that your photos will stand out, especially in a city as dynamic as NYC.

Authentic Experiences from Past Clients

One reviewer from Brazil mentioned that “his technique and refined aesthetic sense transform the photo shoot into a work of art.” They appreciated his empathy and suggestions for places, which added a layer of personalized service that elevates the experience.

These insights suggest that this tour isn’t just about photos; it’s about creating authentic, beautiful memories with expert guidance.

Practical Tips for Your Photoshoot

• Wear comfortable shoes: You’ll be walking between locations, especially if you choose Brooklyn.
• Bring your camera: While the photographer’s shots are included, bringing your own ensures you can capture extra moments.
• Stay hydrated: The urban environment can be surprisingly demanding, even in cooler weather.
• No flash photography: Be prepared to work with natural or ambient light, which often results in more natural-looking photos.
• Plan your schedule: Since the session is only 30 minutes, arriving on time is essential for making the most of it.
