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.” —CNN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “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 \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eParis From the Air\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e. 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.” —WALL STREET JOURNAL\u003cb\u003eJeffrey Milstein\u003c\/b\u003e's work has been published in numerous publications, including \u003ci\u003eCNN Money\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eDaily Mail\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eElle Décor\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFortune\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWired\u003c\/i\u003e.
