Times Square Billboard photographer

I seem to spend a lot of time in Times Square chasing billboards for photographs. It’s normally best to know the schedule and the exact location before heading out to Times Square to photograph a billboard. There are so many large ads playing everywhere in Times Square that it takes a lot of patience to capture images of the adverts.

Always fun to photograph an IPO at the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street. It was nice to head up to Times Square and get some group photos in front of the American Eagle Outfitters Billboard that NYSE reserves for listed companies. Benson Hill were a great group!
