Carousel Portraits

There have been quite a few requests about getting portraits taken on the Denzel Carousel at Riverside park. I did some investigating and found out everything I could.

First and foremost the carousel cannot be running for portraits unless the facility has been rented which costs $60 an hour. In this situation the subject would have to be belted to the horse and the photographer would have to be sitting on a bench on the carousel or standing outside the rail.

If the facility has not be rented they simply ask for a small donation and portraits can be taken any time between 8am and 3pm during the week. The carousel is closed to the public at these times and we can use each animal for posing without worrying about interfering with other people's enjoyment.

So for anyone wondering if the carousel allows portraits to be taken, the answer is yes, I'm excited to try it out, the animals are so colorful it almost guarantees an amazing portrait. Give us a call at our studio if you'd like to get your portrait taken on the carousel.
