I am so often perched on the edge of a rooftop waiting for the “magic hour” or dangling over a skyscraper from the open door of a helicopter, that the sky over New York feels like my native habitat. Time and time again, I find myself drawn to the intoxicating palette that is New York from above where weather and wattage mix with glass, steel and stone in the endless visual variations that inspired this volume. Whether I’m aiming to reinterpret a well-known landmark or to shape abstractions from the grid below, I twist, turn and climb to capture that perfect moment when light and geometry transform into color and composition.

Here in New York, we are all connoisseurs of the urban viewscape and I am lucky to share in many privileged perspectives. On any given day, you can find me on a penthouse terrace overlooking Central Park, the bare metal roof of a legendary building or flying over downtown at sunrise. For these photos, the stakes are always high. After all, I may never get access to that exclusive terrace again; once I climb down that rickety roof top maintenance ladder, I’ll probably never go back up; and in a hundred flights, I’ll never rediscover that single perfect spot in the air over New York Harbor where the tops of The Empire State Building, One World Trade Center and The Chrysler Building align like a constellation.

Back in my earliest days as an artist, I carefully created still life compositions to paint and draw. Now, I use the city itself to make compositions. Instead of bottles and apples, I use the iconic buildings and street grids of the most exciting city in the world. Instead of moving the subject myself, I move myself around the subject until it all clicks into place.

Photographing New York from above is the ultimate technical and logistical challenge.

Here are those images where everything came together: opportunity, experience and inspiration. There are many photographs never shared before that represent my personal artistic vision, my private reserve. This is my New York, the city I fall in love with every time I take to the skies.

one world trade center

It’s a great technical challenge to shoot from a helicopter this late in the day, but this shot of “FiDi” looking out over the Staten Island Ferry Terminal worked beautifully, capturing the cobalt-blue sky and the lights of the city.

It’s not night and it’s not sunset, but truly the “magic hour,” which actually only lasts 10 minutes.

Shot moments before sunrise from a helicopter over New York Harbor, with the city still mostly asleep and an incredible color palette in the sky. I had the right lens and the perfect spot to line up the Empire State Building, One World Trade and the Chrysler Building all in a row.

rockefeller center

the statu e of liberty

The Statue of Liberty faces out towards the ocean. The angle where you can see her face and still place the city in the background is difficult to capture since it’s only viewable for a single second as you fly over the water and behind her. But all the famous landmarks are revealed in this instant and it truly says “New York ” from here!

6-7

This is the rooftop of 30 Rockefeller Center or “Top of the Rock,” as viewed while turned almost upside down from a helicopter with the door taken off. The geometry of the Plaza is evident from here. I love the way the building is spotlit from the surrounding rooftops, like a gem in a jeweler’s window.

midtown manhattan from the u pper west side

bank of america tower on bryant park

The cluster of skyscrapers in Midtown is classic New York, and in this exact second you can see Columbus Circle perfectly framed by the buildings which flank it and all the way down to One World Trade. The frames I shot a halfsecond earlier and later just don’t work like this one does.

The Bank of America tower on Bryant Park is like Times Square’s guardian sentinel. The way it is lit echoes the signage below and allows the distinctive geometry of this building to be understood. I love the green spire at the top. It looks like it’s signaling outer space.

I have flown over and photographed the Empire State Building for years but this unique perspective, captured just after sunset, turned out to be my favorite angle yet.

It’s never easy on the pilot (or the photographer!), but turning the helicopter on its side can yield unexpected new perspectives, like this one of the Apple Store cube at Grand Army Plaza on Fifth Avenue. That’s the Plaza Hotel and Residences at the lower right and the GM Building is visible at the top.

There is a special spot in the air over the West Side where all of midtown is revealed below. The buildings look like crystals growing up from the floor of a cave. That’s the New York Times building at the bottom center, anchoring the display.

I made the turn to line up a shot of Midtown when I saw Lincoln Center below all lit up for a party. The Harlem Renaissance Orchestra was playing for a dance-only event on a beautiful July night.

432 Park Avenue is New York ’s newest tallest residential building and they asked me to come shoot before it even had windows. I gamely went up to the highest floor that was accessible, crawled over to the edge, and set my camera up just below the orange construction netting.

We were 54 floors up at the time and open to the wind, so please don’t tell my mother.

terrace on the woolworth building

The Woolworth Building is one of my favorites, and I waited over ten years for an opportunity to shoot it inside and out. The architectural details combined with the view were worth the wait. This ornate structure frames the view from a terrace on the upper floors. Facing north, you can see all the way to the East River too.

madison square garden

Experimenting with a very powerful telephoto lens while in the helicopter, I captured this unique close-up view of the top of the Empire State Building’s tower.

Photographed at sunrise, the light is just kissing the top of the spire while bathing the city in the warm foggy glow of dawn.

This is the famed Madison Square Garden lit like a birthday cake at night. Although it’s not tall, it is distinctive from the air for its amazing shape. The signage to the left is for the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel, an Art Deco gem with one of the best signs in the city.

The view of Central Park from a private home near the top of One57, one of the most storied new residential towers. Just as I had finished doing the shoot of the interior, fireworks started going off and I rushed to the window.

Manhattan shot from the roof of the Greenpoint Manufacturing and Design Center, one of the hubs of Brooklyn’s famous artisan movement. I almost cancelled the shoot that day since the sky was so cloudy, but the clouds cracked open at the horizon for a spectacular sunset.

The eastern sky occasionally offers this gorgeous pink color for one minute of the day when the sun setting in the west reflects off the haze in the air. I love the soft pink juxtaposed with the crisp details of the new technology that crowns every new tower in the city.

On the left is my favorite angle of the Chrysler Building, which I discovered 7 years ago and have been trying to re-capture ever since... I finally got it! On the right is my favorite view of these iconic buildings, together like siblings, which you only get from the top floors of Trump World Tower across from the UN.

the east river

Captured while leaning over the edge of the rooftop of luxury hotel AK A at United Nations Plaza, I love the reflection of the Pepsi sign in the water. It’s in Long Island City, just across the river from 46th Street. It just happens to line up beautifully with the facing image looking south on the East River from the penthouse of 524 East 72nd St. That’s the 59th Street Bridge (Queensborough Bridge) at the bottom of the frame.

Flying up the East River at dusk on Saint Patrick ’s Day. The river feels serene reflecting the darkening sky.

Check out the Empire State Building lit green for the holiday!

Fifth Avenue is normally an impenetrable canyon from the air but the lights of St. Patrick ’s Cathedral make it possible to shoot if you aim just right. The cross-shape of this famous destination becomes visible from up here and the building behind it with the lit courtyard is the New York Palace Hotel.

Right behind the Statue of Liberty is a container port in Jersey City, NJ on the water. While shooting the statue, it’s impossible to ignore the morning sun glowing on these brightly colored shapes and the massive infrastructure surrounding them.

The Wollman Rink/Trump Skating Rink in Central Park is an amusement park in the summer. The shape echoes that of Yankee Stadium (right page) captured enroute to shoot the sunrise. I still don’t know why Yankee Stadium was fully lit at 5am, but it’s not legal to fly over during a game, so this was a lucky break!

An aerial shot directly over Washington Square Park in early spring, with the swirling shapes of the park ’s layout clearly visible.

While making a turn low over the harbor to shoot the Statue of Liberty, I was able to look backwards toward Manhattan and catch the schooner Clipper City in full sail. Just like me, she has roots in Baltimore.

It was a cloudy day on the roof of The Rushmore at 80 Riverside Boulevard but the sunset broke through and reflected brilliantly into the towers of the Time Warner Center. The clouds to the east and the sun to the west are a great complement to each other.

From the air directly overhead, the tops of the Time Warner Center towers sparkle like diamonds. To shoot the spot where they frame the statue of Christopher Columbus is like threading a needle.

Near Times Square is the former Lehman Brothers Building which is now the Barclays Capital Building. I love how there is no specific subject of this image, the subject is the riot of lit buildings taken as a whole shape.

Despite the horrible weather, I tried this aerial shoot anyway, hoping that the clouds would lift. That never happened but the view of Downtown through the fog made it worth the effort.

An experiment with an extreme telephoto lens was frustrating and mostly disappointing, but this one image worked out, bringing One World Trade into focus right next to the Empire State Building, despite being over 4 miles away.

From the air at sunset, no part of the city looks better than the reflective buildings in Battery Park City framing One World Trade. Their position directly opposite the setting sun always catches the best light of the day.

You have to look carefully from 1500 feet up in the air, but Bloomingdale’s flagship store spanning Lexington and Third Avenues is brilliantly lit and visible through a small opening in the nearby buildings. That’s the Bloomberg Building with the circular courtyard to the south.

One Worldwide Tower is an often overlooked gem over on the West Side and I always love shooting its brightly lit glass pyramid.

The view from the rooftop penthouse of 101 Leonard Street while it was still under construction. Like many downtown views it’s constrained by nearby buildings, but in this case, it’s neighbor 108 Leonard has a beautiful facade. The hazy sky turned purple-pink after dark and the Manhattan Bridge sparkles in the distance.

On the tip top of the Woolworth Building, Gothic flying buttresses hold up the spire and ring a small octagonal terrace open to the elements. It was originally accessed by a tiny private elevator reserved for F.W. Woolworth himself. Here’s the view from that terrace west towards One World Trade.

I’m out on the roof in the winter shooting the sunset towards the Statue of Liberty and that’s the Empire State Building reflected in the far distance.

This is the view west from the 54th floor of 432 Park before the windows were installed. It’s not quite as exciting now that I’m not standing on a ledge high in the air, but now that it’s finished, it’s a welcome addition to the skyline.

This is one of my favorite views of Rockefeller Center, captured while turned upside down over the skating rink. The strong diagonals, the symmetry and the powerful contrast make me enjoy looking at this image again and again.

I raced through traffic to get downtown in time for this shoot at 20 Exchange Place and breathlessly climbed up 6 flights of maintenance stairs to reach the roof. There was no time to waste as the sky was perfect the instant I set up the camera and shot this view north towards the East River bridges and the top of 60 Wall Street.

The Crown Building at the corner of 57th Street and Fifth Avenue sits lower than its neighbors but stands out with its golden lights and distinctive architecture.

Hovering over the harbor at sunset on a cloudy day, a small flash of color appeared on the horizon and reflected perfectly on the side of One World Trade.

The orange and purple make the building stand out handsomely from this otherwise blue dusk.
