ABOUT
New York to Los Angeles
New York to Los Angeles is an ongoing series of aerial photographs shot during cross-continental commercial 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 only 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.”
