Capturing Wes Anderson's "The Darjeeling Limited" Vibe in the NYC Subway: A Kid's Portrait Session


Hello, everyone!

I’m Paula Ortiz, your NYC family photographer, and I'm thrilled to share an exciting and creative photo session that took place recently. Today, I want to take you on a journey through the bustling and iconic New York City subway system, where we brought to life the whimsical charm of Wes Anderson’s film "The Darjeeling Limited."


Exploring the NYC Subway: A Unique Backdrop

New York City’s subway system is not just a means of transportation; it's a bustling underground world filled with energy and character. For this special photo session, we chose to embrace the eclectic and vibrant atmosphere of the MTA subway, inspired by the visual style of Wes Anderson's "The Darjeeling Limited."


Bringing the Film's Aesthetic to Life

In "The Darjeeling Limited," Anderson’s distinctive aesthetic is characterized by symmetry, vibrant colors, and quirky characters. We meticulously curated every detail of this photo shoot to capture that essence amidst the unique backdrop of the NYC subway.

The young participant were dressed in an outfit reminiscent of the film’s main character, adorned with bold patterns and colors that popped against the subway’s urban setting.


Creativity in Motion: Capturing Moments

As we moved through the subway stations and aboard trains, we captured candid moments of the children interacting with their surroundings. Whether it was peering through the windows of the subway car or standing against the backdrop of the platform, each shot encapsulated the whimsy and playfulness of childhood.


Why Choose a Unique Location?

Choosing a unique location like the NYC subway for a photo session offers more than just a backdrop; it becomes part of the storytelling. It allows us to create images that are not only visually striking but also deeply reflective of the city's culture and history.


Preserving Memories, Creating Art

At Paula Ortiz Photography, we believe in creating art through photography. Each photo from this session tells a story, capturing not just moments in time but also the essence of childhood imagination and adventure.
