Vincent Laforet, San Francisco, 2014

Vincent Laforet is a leading US commercial photographer with a specialty in aerial photography of cities, at night, from a helicopter. The degree of technical difficulty is high because of the low light and consequent exposure problems, plus the shaking platform up in the air. He’s a master photographer and uses the best equipment but it’s still a big thing to make pictures as pretty as these. Click on this one of San Francisco to see what I mean.

Laforet is an artist and a pro and he promotes his work as widely as he can, through books, magazines, video and his website. You can also see his blog, which shows what’s involved in being a top professional photographer in the US:      blog.vincentlaforet.com
