How to plan a birthday themed photoshoot in NYC

The best time to take birthday photos is typically about an hour before the sun sets. This gives you plenty of time to get the perfect shots without having to worry about the lighting. Of course, if you're taking photos indoors, then you'll want to make sure that the room is well-lit. With all that NYC has to offer, you can create a unique and eye-catching scene for your special day with help from a theme. Use these ideas as inspiration to get you started with brainstorming birthday photo shoot locations:
  • __Urban cityscape__: For a contemporary look, try shooting in front of NYC's iconic skylines and landmarks like the Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, or Central Park. You can also take inspiration from vintage NYC spots like Times Square or Coney Island for some throwback vibes.
  • __Movie magic__: Who says you can’t bring the movies to life? Transport yourself to different imaginative scenes by re-creating classic movie posters or popular TV shows set in NYC.
  • __Retro glamor__: Channel your inner pinup girl and incorporate old Hollywood glamor with vintage-inspired photos with a modern-day twist. Strike a pose in an old-fashioned diner [photo studio](https://www.peerspace.com/venues/new-york--ny/photo-studio) or re-create classic Audrey Hepburn shots.
Remember, no matter what kind of theme you choose, it should be something that reflects your personality. This can help you pinpoint the best birthday photo shoot locations for your session.
