For those who are financially literate or aware of the stock markets in NYC, the Charging Bull, otherwise known as the Wall Street Bull or Bowling Green Bull, is a natural identifier of the capitalist society this great city thrives on, and the resilience of American people following the stock market crash in 1987. Artistically speaking, the Charging Bull is an iconic design by the designer Arturo Di Modica and is a metaphor for the competitive atmosphere of New York’s Financial District. Photographers from around the world have captured stunning images of the easily identifiable sculpture. If in New York for a shoot, photographers should be sure to catch a few snaps of the bold artwork in new and creative ways. Great tips for setting include considering dawn lighting and busy crowds, perhaps with a delayed shutter for an impressive feature. The location of the infamous New Year's ball drop is up next.
