DUMBO Photographer

DUMBO — Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass — is arguably the single most photographed neighborhood in Brooklyn, and it's easy to see why. That iconic view of the Manhattan Bridge framed between brick warehouse buildings on Washington Street has become one of New York City's most recognizable images. At Dante's Models, we go beyond the obvious angles to find fresh perspectives in this incredible neighborhood.

What Makes DUMBO Unforgettable for Photography

DUMBO packs an extraordinary amount of visual variety into a compact area. Within a few blocks, you move from the dramatic Manhattan Bridge archway to cobblestone streets lined with converted warehouses, then out to the Brooklyn Bridge Park waterfront with its sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge itself. The neighborhood catches gorgeous light — especially during golden hour, when the setting sun lights up the bridge towers and casts long shadows across the cobblestones.
