Dumbo Magazine Shoots: Ford and Men’s Health
January 4th, 2007
Residents and people who work in Dumbo Brooklyn are used to seeing photographers for photo shoots, movie shoots, fashion shoots, and individual photographers on the streets, buildings, and waterfront. We’ve seen a lot of Dumbo in popular magazines as well. Last year, we saw Dumbo as a backdrop in a Vanity Fair shoot and in Vogue. I know there are other magazines that had Dumbo or Brooklyn featured (and by the way, if you happen to spot any of them, please let me know).
During my travels through various airports this holiday, I saw a few other Dumbo pics and shoots. One of them in Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park for Ford’s Edge in New York Magazine and the other as a streetscape backdrop for the Jan/Feb 2007 issue of Men’s Health Magazine.

I’m wondering if we’ll be seeing more big companies such as Ford using Dumbo as a backdrop. It’s no longer just the creative photographers.

Our neighborhood is a rich backdrop for fashionable promotions, but dang! Those Men’s Health shots are the epitome of cheeeesy!

I dont think the Men’s Health shots are nearly as bad as Ford using our park to try condoning that the “Edge is never dull”.
