Waterloo Park

A new park downtown that photographs like a much older one.

13 frames·Waterloo Park, Austin

Waterloo Park sits at the northern end of the greenway, minutes from the Capitol, with deep native planting, curved paths and clean modern architecture to put people against. It's quiet on weekday evenings and the plantings give you real depth behind a subject — which is unusual this close to downtown. Families, portraits and small sessions.

Depth behind a subject, downtown.

The native planting here is tall and layered, so a subject separates from the background without the long-lens compression you need in most city parks.

We live ten minutes away and had never been. There was nobody else in the park and the photos look like we drove out to the country.
