Over at FlyNYON, we've started a new series called "Behind The Photo" where we do a quick little interview with a photographer about their favorite photo with FlyNYON. I did mine about my New Years Eve photo over Times Square right after the ball dropped. There wasn't too much I could say in the short 60 seconds I had but that's what this blog is about…

Photo Of The Week 61 - High Roller In Sin City - Las Vegas, Nevada
I spent a longggg week in Las Vegas with FlyNYON to gather as much content as possible and to take over the Life Is Beautiful Festival. During this trip, I took many, many open door helicopter flights around the city and dessert. I honestly didn't think I would be too impressed but It was refreshing and exciting to get this perspective on a new city since I'm so used to New York...

Photo Of The Week 60 - High Altitude NYC - New York City, New York
I've flown in helicopters many times above NYC, usually around the 1,000 to 1,500ft altitude, but I was lucky enough to be taken to another level the other day. On August 26th of this year, FlyNYON will be hosting 2 high altitude flights to experience an open door helicopter ride 7,500ft above New York City!

Photo Of The Week 55 - Adding Perspective To Your Photos - New York City
When flying with FlyNYON, it's relatively easy to get yourself great photos of one of the best cities in the world. It's easy to just snap around at whatever you're looking at which is mainly the breathtaking views of the New York City skyline from above. These photos typically WOW people and are unique to add to your portfolio or Instagram profile, but they usually lack the perspective aspect of this type of photography...

Photo Of The Week 36 - A Different Side Of The 7 Stars - Dubai, UAE
To continue with the theme from last week's Photo Of The Week at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhbai, here is another signature 7-star hotel. The Burj Al Arab is well known as being the famous "sail boat" shaped structure in the middle of Jumeirah Beach. On my last trip to Dubai, I managed to get a night photo of this hotel but after a couple of years, I wanted a new perspective on it...

Photo Of The Week 24 - The City Beneath Your Feet - New York City
A lot of people ask me how scary it is to hang out of an open door helicopter over New York City. On the scaredy cat scale from 1-10, it's a 1.5. You're so focused on the incredible views and experience that you forget what you're actually doing. In most cases, when it's your first time, you're so focused on snapping away with your camera or phone that you don't appreciate the views as much as you should. It took me a few flights to actually stop and take a minute to look around and soak it all in...

Flying Over NYC With FlyNYON
I don't know if I have an all time favorite photographer but Vincent Laforet has been a huge influence on me. One aspect of his work that I go crazy over is his aerial photography, its simply unmatched compared to anyone else's aerial images. After seeing all of Vincent's work, I've always wanted to go shoot from a helicopter and after following certain accounts on instagram over the years, I've had the urge to fly over the buildings in NYC. 2015 is the year for me to do as many new things and go to as many new places as possible, s
