Explore **backlit and silhouette work** on the terraces, exposing for the sky to create graphic outlines of people against the Hudson and Meatpacking skyline, or use reflections in glass doors for layered compositions. **Videos to View Before the Shoot** * Environmental Portraiture: [Bing Videos](https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=photographing%20urban%20environmental%20portraiture%20you%20tube&mid=46A9CA63A7DB62300CEA46A9CA63A7DB62300CEA&ajaxhist=0) * The Defining Architectural Features of the Whitney: [Bing Videos](https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=photographing%20architectural%20at%20whitey%20museum&mid=5E81467522F7C90EB0305E81467522F7C90EB030&ajaxhist=0) **NOTE**: Personal, non-commercial photography is allowed in the public areas and permanent-collection galleries, but flash, tripods, and other professional equipment are **not** permitted. **Meeting Location/Event Hosts** Your hosts will be just inside the main entrance on Gansevoort Street on the ground-floor lobby near the cafe area.

Eventually we will emerge again, passing the famous but now defunct “Cotton Club,” and climb a few steps to Riverside Park, with Grant’s Tomb and Riverside Church right there posing for us. We will leave this area via 122nd Street and attempt to photograph subways trains heading down the open tracks and vanishing into the tunnel beneath us at 122nd & Broadway.

**Hello Fellow NYC TAOP Members** Leica Gallery New York will host an intimate artist panel with Henry Leutwyler, Diana Markosian, and Kylie Shea in conjunction with their Ballet exhibition.
