For everyone who has either been to New York City (NYC) or seen a TV show or movie set in NYC, they will most definitely recognize the classic yellow cab. These cabs have been an icon for New York natives and travelers alike looking to get from point A to B for a reasonable fee. Not only are the outside of these cabs easily identifiable but so are the characters who operate them. Cab drivers in NYC have incredible personalities and are always capable of sharing a good story or having a deep conversation. For photographers, however, the vibrant yellow color makes for an ideal contrast to the grey streets and waves of pedestrians. Ideal conditions are a mid-street point of focus or rain to deepen the contrast for quality shots to drive Instagram followers crazy.

Head on over to the Financial District for the next fantastic photoshoot.
