George Steinmetz

Shooting from dawn to dusk in America’s largest city, George spent all of 2014 photographing New York City from a small helicopter. He created an in-depth portrait of the city as it went through a major construction boom, with a new skyline, waterfront landscape, and dazzling contemporary architecture. But he also examined the relatively timeless aspects of New York and how the city transforms itself through the seasons. These aerial photographs have a  surprising intimacy, as they capture New Yorkers going about their lives in a most extraordinary urban habitat.
