Chelsea Neighborhood

For my final project I decided to photograph the neighborhood “Chelsea” in Manhattan, during the day and night scenes. I find this small neighborhood to be an interesting place to explore. You have the beautiful architecture in the little island by the pier, and it’s one of the most popular places to visit, walk around and be surrounded by different types of people. It’s a nature oasis mixed with a touch of innovative architecture designed by  Heatherwick Studio and the New York-based landscape architecture firm MNLA, led by Signe Nielsen, the park’s imaginative design offers all New Yorkers and visitors a new public space that is whimsical, captivating, and restorative. I’ve visited the little island, during summer and fall seasons and it’s one of my favorite places to hangout and relax while being in the city. Just around the corner, you’ll find Chelsea Market, a hub filled with diverse cuisines to try, from Italian to Asian foods. It’s one of the most popular places to visit for people who are foodies. I find Chelsea Market to be a historical neighborhood filled with beautiful classical architecture, and every single corner you walk through, you’ll find inspiration and beauty. I want to capture the beauty of the architecture in this neighborhood from the newest buildings that were recently constructed, to the oldest historical building in the neighborhood and showcase the culture and history of this neighborhood. The people that visit this neighborhood also add life to this place, because it’s one of the busiest places to be, you’ll find tourist visiting the neighborhood, to locals walking their dogs and Google employees walking to the offices in the neighborhood It is truly a fantastic place to visit because you’ll find all kinds of people here doing different things during the day and night. I would like to capture this as well in my photographs for my project as I explore this neighborhood and learn more from it.
