Vincent Laforet is an American photographer who has taken some spectacular photographs of the city of New York from an altitude of nearly 7,500 feet (2,300 meters) while riding in a helicopter!

Here is a gorgeous scene of the night view of the Big Apple with the glittering skyscrapers and bright lights of Manhattan below.

Laforet had these comments about his unique photography:

“Shooting photos from a helicopter creates a lot of both physical and technical challenges but the results are worth it.”

Shooting photographs from the harsh conditions of a helicopter is the speciality of this talented photographer.
