New York to Los Angeles is an ongoing series of aerial photographs shot during cross-continental flights between the two cities. I want to capture the beauty and abstract qualities of the landscape below, which often goes unnoticed despite the fact that millions of fellow travelers share this perspective every year.

With a self-made camera modification, I am deliberately limited when shooting through airplane windows. I carefully choose specific seat assignments and flights to take into account seasonality and variations in flight paths. Since I only make photographs during extremely short timeframes relative to the duration of a typical flight, a lot of this work depends on a fair amount of trial and error, weather conditions, and a bit of plain luck.

Artist Profile

Hometown: New York City

Based in: New York City

I am a New York City based photographer and artist and have been practicing full time since 2010. My commercial career as an architectural photographer informs bodies of work that focus on the built environment, whereas my personal (fine art) work comprises a variety of subject matter ranging from large-scale landscapes to intriguing human-interest stories. My photographs have been widely published by editorial outlets such as The New York Times, TIME, Interior Design, Architectural Digest and exhibited by The Museum of the City of New York, the International Center of Photography, and The Royal Photographic Society among others. I am also the founder of a nonprofit project Cartwheel Initiative that empowers displaced youth through the use of multimedia storytelling.
