Mysterious Cityscape Photography

This NYC Photo Series is Enigmatic and Stunningly Secretive

Taking on the enigmatic and beloved New York City, this stunning NYC photo series takes the audience on a trip that will change their view on the urban jungle they thought they knew so well.

The black and white captures do exactly what photographer Adam Garelick wants of them: they capture the essence of the city without the flair and pizzazz. Showing us an emptier and darker version of the city, the NYC photo series is mysteriously charming and full of secretive little nooks and interesting details that would never have been noticed during the bustling and hectic sun-lit days. But by night -- and only in the shadows -- the city comes alive and gorgeous urban architecture can be seen in its glory in the limited light.
