Manhattan Skyscraper Reflections in Gold and Blue Abstract Photography
Sunset Colour Breaks Into Waves Across Manhattan Glass
Gold takes over much of this Manhattan reflection photograph, with deep blue running down the right side and narrow flashes of red threaded through the glass. I made the image near Times Square at sunset, framing the reflected buildings closely enough that their familiar outlines became waves of colour. The result keeps the structure of the city while changing the way we see it.
Each pane bends a small part of the neighbouring architecture. Straight edges appear to ripple, and repeated windows stretch into uneven shapes. Across that movement, the facade’s own grid remains visible. Fine dividing lines and a broad, steadier band through the middle hold the composition together, giving the eye a clear structure beneath the restless reflections. I like that tension: the building is orderly, yet the city it reflects seems to be shifting from one panel to the next.
The warm and cool colours give the photograph its energy. Yellow and orange surfaces glow against dark outlines, while blue sections offer pockets of depth along the edge. Smaller green and red areas interrupt the larger fields of colour, making the close view more intricate than it first appears. I chose to let those details fill the frame, without a street or skyline to explain the scene. This is New York seen through another building’s surface, a real urban moment in which architecture, light, and glass produce an almost painterly arrangement.

About My Fine Art Photography
Every photograph in my collection comes from my own travels, explorations, and years behind the camera.
I create my work as photographic art rather than mass-produced decoration. From street portraits and abandoned places to landscapes, architecture, and the unusual subjects I discover along the way, each image begins with something that made me stop and look.
My photographs are available in multiple sizes so the same image can work in anything from an intimate wall space to a large statement installation.
