New York City contains multitudes — and sometimes the only way to see them all is to rise above. Commissioned by Bloomberg News, this aerial series documents the full breadth of the five boroughs: the gleaming towers of Midtown, the iconic landmarks, the web of bridges stitching the city together, the infrastructure that keeps eight million people moving, and the neighborhoods — from public housing complexes to outer-borough blocks — where real New Yorkers live. Photographed from a helicopter, these images offer a rare, unobstructed view of a city that is rarely seen whole, revealing both its iconic grandeur and its everyday fabric.
