A detailed look at what this photoshoot offers

How the experience works

This private, 30-minute session begins with meeting your photographer—Marcio Honorato, who brings 14 years of experience and a reputation for refined aesthetic sense. The idea is to keep it simple yet impactful: you’ll be guided to the most photogenic spots, with a focus on capturing your unique personality against the backdrop of NYC’s most iconic sights.

Once at the location, your photographer will assist you with posing and help you find the best angles—something that beginners or those unsure of how to pose will appreciate. The sessions are designed to be relaxed, fun, and natural. Expect quick, friendly communication, and the chance to learn tips on how to look your best in front of the camera.

Iconic spots and hidden gems

If you opt for Manhattan, you can expect to be photographed in front of places like Times Square or Rockefeller Plaza—famous for their bright billboards and bustling city vibe. These settings are perfect for capturing the essence of the Big Apple, with vibrant backgrounds that scream New York.

Choose Brooklyn, and you’ll get a different flavor—perhaps the artsy streets of DUMBO, the Brooklyn Bridge, or the colorful street art in Williamsburg. These spots offer a more relaxed atmosphere, ideal for those who want a more authentic, less touristy backdrop.

Practical considerations

Keep in mind that transportation isn’t included, so you’ll need to get yourselves to the meeting point and locations.
