The photography studio of Ebru Yildiz. Located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. As photographers that draw endless energy and inspiration from the people and environment that surrounds us, Brooklyn Grain was born of the idea to focus that energy into a physical space in which to create, both for ourselves and for others. It is a space that we love to work in and we hope you will too. For studio rental inquiries or interest in working with us on your next project please say hello! .

How Does Your Garden Grow? A donation from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds Co. Allowed us to pot up an edible flower garden with spicy nasturtium, dianthus, and pansy seeds. Kids had a blast this year filling their plots with beans, peas, squash, lemon grass, and their favorite, noodle beans! The Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

What happens when buildings get too hot? Imagine the sun beating down on a hot, humid July day in New York City. If the temperature on the sidewalk is 95 F, the temperature on a black rooftop can soar to more than 140 F. As the surrounding air gets hotter, rooftop air conditioners have to work harder to cool buildings. Energy use goes up all over the city.
