For this photo series, I decided to focus on a variety of buildings in New York City.
New York is so diverse, with commercial and residential buildings on every city block. I wanted to capture these buildings to highlight new initiatives in fighting climate change.
Buildings that aim to cut back greenhouse emissions range from well-known skyscrapers such as the Freedom Tower and Empire State Building to smaller, residential buildings in Brooklyn.
I have always been an advocate for fighting climate change and a photography enthusiast. I was very excited when offered the chance to combine these two passions into a project.
