Shooting with the newest high-resolution medium-format professional cameras while leaning out of helicopters making steep turns with the door off, Milstein captures the highly detailed, iconic, straight-down images that set his work apart"--Publisher marketing.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Combining daring aerial photography with the restricted airspace over Paris provides both breathtaking and unparalleled views.</b> <p/>From sunrise to sunset, Paris is one of the most photographed cities in the world. Shooting with the newest high-resolution medium-format professional cameras while leaning out of helicopters making steep turns with the door off, Milstein captures the highly detailed, iconic, straight-down images that set his work apart. <p/>Milstein's distinctive style--straight down--leads to fresh insights of the urban design of this great city. In a way that is impossible from street level, you can see the old neighborhoods of Montmartre and Montparnasse; iconic historical monuments like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe or the Invalides; and modern Paris like La Défense or the new neighborhoods around the Bibliothèque Nationale. As a bonus, there is a portfolio of images of the gardens and buildings of Louis XIV's great palace, Versailles. <p/>Milstein brings his unique and unmatched aerial vistas of Paris to life--every angle, every moment, every season. This is sure to be treasured by tourists and Parisians alike.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Oh Là Là! Magnifique images! Jeffrey Milstein has many talents. He's an architect. He's a respected photographer who shows work in museums and galleries around the world. And he's a pilot. If ever a book was a perfect symphony of a single person's talents, <b>Paris: From The Air</b> is it. Milstein's eye for structure and his unquestionable knack for capturing the moment reach sumptuous heights in a compendium of some of the most wanderlust-inspiring pictures ever captured of the City of Light." --FROMMER'S <p/>...this unparalleled portfolio of Paris inspires tourists and locals alike. --MY FRENCH COUNTRY HOME <p/>"<i>Paris like you've probably never seen it before</i>... <b>Paris: From the Air</b> [is] a book of 200 mesmerizing color photographs showcasing the City of Light from angles rarely seen. Milstein's straight-down shots, a style he's known for, are informed by his background as an architect and graphic designer. 'We had to work fast, as time and the best light were limited. I get into a kind of zone once I start shooting; everything else falls away and I just move into that moment, ' says Milstein. Viewers may well get into a similar zone poring over his photographs of the orderly streets, monumental squares and hidden courtyards of Paris." --CNN <p/> <br> "What's oval, set in a rectangle and surrounded by several concentric circles, with 12 streets emerging like spokes? It's the Arc de Triomphe, seen directly from above in the new book <b><i>Paris From the Air</i></b>. Author Jeffrey Milstein creates his signature geometric photos by shooting straight down from a helicopter, asking the pilot to make tight circles while 'I lean out as far as I can, hand holding the camera. The door of the helicopter is open or off, ' he writes in the book. The wind from the rotor and G-force from the turns add to the challenges. The photos in the book, taken in spring 2019, capture the Louvre museum and its pyramid-shaped entrance, looking from above like an art deco coaster. The Place de Vosges park in the center of Paris resembles a fancy baseball diamond with trees, while from an angle the Grande Arche, which houses government offices in the La Défense neighborhood, suggests a sugar cube hollowed out by ants. West of Paris, Mr. Milstein flew over the gardens of the former royal residence of Versailles, first created in the 17th century. The straight-down photos here disclose the sweeping patterns of rectangular pools and decorative hedges only suggested at ground level." --WALL STREET JOURNAL<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jeffrey Milstein</b>'s work has been published in numerous publications, including <i>CNN Money</i>, the <i>Daily Mail</i>, <i>Elle Décor</i>, <i>Esquire</i>, <i>Fortune</i>, <i>Time</i>, the <i>Los Angeles Times</i>, the <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>, and <i>Wired</i>. His work can be seen at LACMA, the Smithsonian Institution, George Eastman House, and the Akron Art Museum. He lives in Woodstock, New York.
