The NYC Skyline: A Timeless Backdrop for Every Shot

The Flower Garden: A Burst of Color in the Urban Jungle

With each season bringing new colors and varieties, there’s always something fresh and beautiful to discover.
Golden Hour: Capturing the Perfect Light
If you’re looking to capture truly stunning photos, timing is everything. Golden hour—the period just after sunrise or before sunset—casts a warm, flattering light that makes everything look a little more magical. At Roof at Park South, this is the ideal time to capture the skyline and the Flower Garden at their most beautiful.
The soft, golden light illuminates the city’s buildings and the delicate petals of our flowers, creating a glow that enhances every shot. Whether you’re taking a portrait, a landscape shot, or a candid photo, golden hour provides the perfect lighting for your Instagram feed.
Tips for Getting the Best Instagram Shots at Roof
Choose Your Angle: Play around with different perspectives to find the perfect composition. Try taking photos from a low angle to capture the flowers in the foreground with the skyline towering above, or step back to include more of the rooftop setting in your shot.
Use the Rule of Thirds: Position the skyline or the Flower Garden along the lines of the grid to create balanced, visually appealing photos. Many smartphone cameras have a built-in grid option that you can turn on to help with this.
Incorporate Movement: Don’t be afraid to add a little action to your photos. Whether it’s a gust of wind through the flowers or a twirl of your dress, movement can bring energy and life to your images.
Capture Candid Moments: Some of the best photos happen when you’re not looking directly at the camera. Laugh with friends, sip a cocktail, or simply enjoy the view. These candid shots often feel the most authentic and engaging.
Edit Thoughtfully: Enhance your photos with a light touch of editing to bring out the colors and contrasts. Use tools like brightness, contrast, and saturation to make your images pop, but avoid over-editing, which can detract from the natural beauty of the setting.
