London from the Air

"Combining an architect's eye and daredevil aerial approach with the restricted airspace over London provides breathtaking photographs as seen here for the first time. London is one of the most photographed cities in the world. But by shooting with the newest high-resolution cameras while leaning out of helicopters, Milstein offers us a double-take of familiar architecture and landscapes. His award-winning work brings a fresh and unexpected view of the city. Due to strict laws around aerial photography, Milstein treats us to a view that otherwise would not be seen, and this new book fills a gap of more than 15 years of aerial photographs of London. Milstein's distinctive style-straight down-brings London to life in a way that is impossible to imagine from street level: from the Thames snaking through the heart of the city, Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, and the City of London business district to Canary Wharf, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, the magical symmetry of roads, and the beloved green commons. London from the Air is sure to be treasured by anyone who loves the city by the Thames"--Publisher's description.
