The view doesnt get much better than this. Lee cocon went for a ride with a photographer who captures new heights every time he reaches for his camera. Reporter at first glance, his images look more like circuit boards. They have been centers surging with energy. But while thesese are h hs of activity, theyre not in our computers. These are the worlds great cities, photographed the way the heavens see them. Sparkling spectacles below. Youre feeling the arteries, the blood flow of the city.

They look much smaller, much reporter vincent has taken Aerial Photographyhyo new heights. A glittering strip of sin cit and made londons big ben look nor like a big jewel. It was almost an out of body experience, because its just so beautiful from up there. Reporter and just a few ofof his godlike glimpses that hes publishing in a new book. Fittingly called air.

I see every little intersection, the police cars, the stadiums and you wonder whats going on. Tivity. Reporter vince spends a lot of time in helicopters but not the way you might expect. He just doesnt hover a few hundred feet above as you do with most choppers. Him up to 000, 10,00000 11,000 feet and higher, altitudes helicopters rarely fly. Some veteran helicopter pilots refuse to go up there. Theyre just not comfortable. The first time i went up, it was scary, because i had never been that high, with an open w wdow or door and leanini out and you see planes going underneath you. Your heart skips a beat. Reporter so he asked us to join him in a recent flight over the city of miami. How could we resist . Best seat in the house. Reporter we took off just befofo sunset and headed east towards miami. With a brief spot hovering over a couple in a pool. What the heck are you really looking for . Im trying to make order out of chaos. Im looking for patterns beyond e street colornd light. T. Reporter r hat is it like when youre leaning out over the you forgot about it after a while. Youre so focused on getting that image. Ever think about the fall . The only time i thought about it is that High Altitude over new york. Reporter thatshen a physicist says a fall from that high up could last a terrifying 41 seconds. I was like, thanks for telling me. Now i know. Reporter too long. Way too long. Once it got dark, we started going higher. Helicopters can be like flying blenders. They vibrate wildly and vince has to hold the camera steady shooting at low shutter speeds often as the chopper goes into steep banking turns. Reporter the hot florida air got cool and crisp, until we were about 8,000 feet. Nothing between uss and dowowown miami except air. As a photographer, as an official commicator, you try to get images no one has seen before. Thats the goal and thats a pretty tall order in 2015 when everyone has a camera on their phone. Reporter hes used to breaking ground, although hes usually on t t ground to do it. Back in 200808 he wawa one of the first to shoot video on a 35 millimeter digital camera.

Ever since he e s a child, something about the visual just clicked. When i was 15, i asked my father, who was a photographer, can i borrow your camera . I picked it up, i took a picture and i was done. Reporter he was rarely without a camera after that. And he soon became the youngest Staff Photographer efficient hired by the new york t tes.

This is about 1475 feet up. Repororr in the days after the attacks of 9 11, he was dispatched to pakistan, much to his surprise. I was not a war photographer. Reporter you didnt want to be on the front lines . No. When the bullets fly, i hit the ground and stay down. Reporter but staying downturned out hadadeen his secret, capturing not so much the war but the victims of it. These were real people, just as afraid as people back in the states. Reporter he shared the Pulitzer Condoleezza riceprize for creature photography that year. He was only 27. When you see what happened in new orleans to americans, you know, in our country, that really shakes your foundation up pretty seriously. Reporter so seriously, that laforet needed a change. He quitis job as a photo journalist and decided to pulul away for a while. Now youre doing something where there arent peopl or perhaps emotions in your pictures anymore. Theres something very odd that happens when you go up in the air. Its kind of intimate. I cant explain it. Reporter Vincent Laforet has always pushed the envelope. But its not about being a daredevil. Its about finding and capturing what we often lose on the ground. A sense of peace and perspective. I think when you take a step back from anything, you see the things more clearly. And in a visual way, i think air is a representation of that, to take some distance from see were all in this together. The cbs overnight news will be right back.
