metadata Extractor library path access denied

Question

I've found this .net library that can extract metadata from images and the example they gave is below however whatever path i put in just gives a path access to the path is denied error. I am running visual studio as an admin so that shouldn't be the issue

static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            var directories = MetadataExtractor.ImageMetadataReader.ReadMetadata("C:\\New folder");

            foreach (var directory in directories)
            {
                foreach (var tag in directory.Tags)
                    Console.WriteLine($"[{directory.Name}] {tag.Name} = {tag.Description}");

                if (directory.HasError)
                {
                    foreach (var error in directory.Errors)
                        Console.WriteLine($"ERROR: {error}");
                }
            }

        }

U have to set path to file, not folder. I've try it like this

C:\\New folder\\maxresdefault.jpg

And it's works. Output:

[JPEG] Image Height = 720 pixels
[JPEG] Image Width = 1280 pixels

[JPEG] Component 2 = Cb component: Quantization table 1, Sampling factors 1 horiz/1 vert
[JPEG] Component 3 = Cr component: Quantization table 1, Sampling factors 1 horiz/1 vert
