In late April, Central Park is fully in bloom, and few places reflect that more clearly than the Conservatory Garden. Early in the morning, the space feels quiet and structured, with tulips and fresh greenery defining the setting.
Sean chose this location for its symmetry and seasonal detail. The tulips were in full bloom, creating a clean, colorful backdrop that didn’t require anything additional.
