Photographing the reopening of the iconic New York Waldorf Astoria after its massive restoration was all about balancing its rich history with a modern luxury feel. Documenting everything from the grand lobby and lively restaurants to the historic ballrooms and intimate guestrooms, my approach uses warmth and natural light to make these grand spaces feel inviting and lived-in. The goal was to showcase the landmark’s cultural scale while keeping the images soft, elegant, and effortless, showing off an elevated luxury product that still feels like home.
