Combining daring aerial photography with the restricted airspace over Paris provides both breathtaking and unparalleled views.
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.
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.
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.

Paris: From the Air Reviews
-
4.5 stars
This collection of aerial photographs has minimal text and showcases the absolutely gorgeous bird's eye view of Paris—the layout of its roads, gardens, and architecture—from the low central buildings to the taller skyscrapers of La Défense—it is architecture as art displayed in a new way. If you love Paris or architecture you must find a copy of this book to peruse!
This would be 5 stars if the book were bigger (although it's sometimes nice to have a more petite coffee table book like this)—I just would love to have larger prints of these photographs!
Also includes rare aerial photographs of Versailles and its grounds.
