Adela’s hosted her 26th birthday party at La Macarena, a nightclub in Times Square that specializes in dance parties, Latin food, and hookah service; and I had the opportunity to capture the energy and excitement of the evening’s festivities. The dynamic atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable shindig, and I was thrilled to be a part of it.

From candid shots of partygoers to group photos of friends, whether people were dancing, laughing, or raising a bottle in celebration, my camera was there to document it all.

Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D850 using a 24-85mm zoom lens, and all individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using custom-built presets.
