Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
All months of the year are suitable to photograph this storefront!
The colors of the leafy ferns are definitely best captured during the day when they are bathing in the sunlight.

Field tips

I suggest standing opposite the façade but still on the same side of the street, lift up your phone and snap your photo. This will produce a unique angle.
Make sure your vertical and horizontal lines are straight so that the framing looks clean and professional.
Experiment with the texture of the plants against the buildings by zooming in or taking the photo from a closer viewpoint.

Do nearby

Check out the Brooklyn Academy of Music in the close proximity. It’s a great architectural spot!
There are some amazing restaurants in this area! Explore and see what hidden gems you can find, but if you want a place to start here are two of my favorites: - Companion Cafe (64 6th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217) for simple coffee and toasts - Habana Outpost (757 Fulton St, Brooklyn, NY 11217) for Cuban-Mexican fare (closed during winter!)
