The Grand Central Atelier is a non-profit fine-art academy focusing on illustration, oil painting, and sculpture (that I sometimes model for!). Every year, they hold a special art opening celebrating that year’s group of graduates from their 4-year program, turning the school into a public museum for the evening, offering live music, snacks, and refreshments. This year’s theme was “In Situ”.

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

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D750, using an AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 lens, and individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using my own custom presets.
