NYBG Wonderland: Curious Nature

NYBG Photographer for the “Wonderland: Curious Nature” Exhibit at the New York Botanical Gardens

Being the photographer for the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) has been such an incredible journey. The beauty of the gardens speaks for itself, but having the opportunity to capture that beauty through my lens is truly something special. From the vibrant flowers in full bloom to the serene landscapes, every corner of the garden offers something new and inspiring.

What I love most about photographing at NYBG is how the gardens change with the seasons. Whether it’s the rich colors of fall, the fresh blooms of spring, or the winter stillness, there’s always something magical to capture. Plus, there are always exciting events happening, like seasonal exhibits, workshops, and festivals. Each one offers a unique opportunity to document the ways people interact with the space and the natural world.

It’s also amazing to see how the staff at NYBG works tirelessly to maintain and grow such a breathtaking environment. They really put their heart and soul into preserving these gardens, and being able to photograph that dedication is something I value deeply.

All in all, photographing at NYBG is more than just a job—it’s a chance to experience and share the incredible connection people have with nature right here in the heart of the city.

The New York Botanical Gardens (NYBG) is one of the best places in New York City to see the change of the season and nothing could be more colorful than these fall leaves as a backdrop at the Family Forest.
