“Oh Là Là! Magnifique images! Jeffrey Milstein has many talents.
He’s an architect. He’s a respected photographer who shows work in
museums and galleries around the world. And he’s a pilot. If ever a
book was a perfect symphony of a single person’s talents, Paris:
From The Air is it. Milstein’s eye for structure and his
unquestionable knack for capturing the moment reach sumptuous
heights in a compendium of some of the most wanderlust-inspiring
pictures ever captured of the City of Light.”
—Frommer’s
“ . . . this unparalleled portfolio of Paris inspires tourists and
locals alike.”
—My French Country Home
“Paris: From the Air [is] a book of 200 mesmerizing color
photographs showcasing the City of Light from angles rarely seen.
Milstein’s straight-down shots, a style he’s known for, are
informed by his background as an architect and graphic designer.
‘We had to work fast, as time and the best light were limited. I
get into a kind of zone once I start shooting; everything else
falls away and I just move into that moment,’ says Milstein.
Viewers may well get into a similar zone poring over his
photographs of the orderly streets, monumental squares and hidden
courtyards of Paris.”

“What’s oval, set in a rectangle and surrounded by several
concentric circles, with 12 streets emerging like spokes? It’s the
Arc de Triomphe, seen directly from above in the new book Paris
From the Air. Author Jeffrey Milstein creates his signature
geometric photos by shooting straight down from a helicopter,
asking the pilot to make tight circles while ‘I lean out as far as
I can, hand holding the camera. The door of the helicopter is open
or off,’ he writes in the book. The wind from the rotor and G-force
from the turns add to the challenges. The photos in the book, taken
in spring 2019, capture the Louvre museum and its pyramid-shaped
entrance, looking from above like an art deco coaster. The Place de
Vosges park in the center of Paris resembles a fancy baseball
diamond with trees, while from an angle the Grande Arche, which
houses government offices in the La Défense neighborhood, suggests
a sugar cube hollowed out by ants. West of Paris, Mr. Milstein flew
over the gardens of the former royal residence of Versailles, first
created in the 17th century. The straight-down photos here disclose
the sweeping patterns of rectangular pools and decorative hedges
only suggested at ground level.”
