I want to take some headshots and bodyshots with a nice background. Are there any artistic murals or just places with cool backgrounds?
Also, I already have pics with the Manhattan skyline, so looking for different spots
Sticking with Lincoln Park, there are a number of little lakeside benches, sculptures, bridges and band shells that could be nice for backdrops. Take a lap and you'll find a number of good spots!
Seconding…and if you cross over to the expanded part/bird walk place, you can get dramatic shots by the Hackensack River with big abandoned factory in the background.
They’ll turn the fountain on in the next month or two, too
Go down Coles until you are past where the overpass is and there are a lot of murals in that area. Great if you are looking for an urban slightly gritty feel.
Is this by Hamilton park? Sorry I couldn’t find this overpass, but sounds exactly what I am looking fir
It's beyond Hamilton park. Just north of there. If you walk under the approach to the Holland Tunnel.
Newark Ave. pedestrian plaza at sunset
might not be everyone's vibe but i personally always liked the view from the top of the hill at Sip & JFK. The LeFrak lighthouse and Colgate Clock could also be neat backgrounds i guess.

The Bergen Arches abandoned railway tunnel… if that's your vibe.
Around the corner from super buy rite there's a large graffiti mural that says "greetings from jersey city". It's behind the Lukoil gas station on Erie and 12th street
There are a lot of murals around there in the various parking lots

In front of the many many beautiful murals
Where?
Here’s a map https://www.jcmap.org/our-murals
Liberty State Park Marina and inside and outside the old Central Station building (now Ferry Terminal).
Start at the intersection of Monmouth & 13th streets, there are a ton of really great murals within a block of of there

Lincoln Park by the fountain can be quite nice.
I’d also walk around the alleyway behind JC ECO cleaners as there are a ton of murals there as well.
