If You Thought New York City Was Incredible, Wait Until You See These Insane Pictures

When renowned photographer and decorated traveler Vincent Laforet goes on his photoshoots, he goes all out. Once a resident of New York City, he's developed an insatiable passion for it's brilliantly designed layout and incredible architecture. He's already taken countless beautiful photographs of the urban gem, but he wanted more - he wanted to capture the city from an angle never before captured.

After gaining nearly unheard of air clearance, on a cold winter night, Laforet took to the skies in a helicopter. And at 7,500 feet up, with the door wide open, he fearlessly photographed some of the most beautiful images of New York City you will ever see.
