Christmas at New York City: Holiday Window Displays on Fifth Avenue

Day 3, Part One of photography workshop with Joe McNally in New York City during the Christmas season.

The assignment was to photograph the holiday window displays of the high end brands on Fifth Avenue. By this time I had a better sense of what was expected of each assignment - do something that would make the viewers stop and get a second glance at your work. How could I photograph the work of insanely talented designers and attempt to add something of my own? I went with a long lens and focused on tiny fragments of the installations, thus making the photographs more about portraiture rather than holidays and shopping windows.
