Check out these incredible aerial photos of New York

Evan Joseph flies high above the city in a helicopter, capturing sweeping aerial images.

LUXURY REAL ESTATE photographer Evan Joseph fell in love with New York City in 1992, when he moved there after graduating from Vassar College.

Now, more than 20 years later, Joseph is flying high above the city in a helicopter, capturing sweeping aerial images of the beloved skyline.

His latest book, New York From Above, is an ode to One World Trade Center. Completed in July 2013, the newly-finished structure was for Joseph — and many New Yorkers — a form of healing after the attacks of 11 September, 2001.

“When One World Trade was finally completed, I felt that the city had been restored in some meaningful way, and I wanted to capture all-new cityscapes that featured this ‘new’ New York,” Joseph told Business Insider.

Here are 13 photos from the book that celebrates Joseph’s cherished city:

    Most overrated city in the world … Cement hell and rudeness abound. West coast much cooler…

    U mean hipster central San Francisco or soulless LA? NY’ers wrongly have a rep for bad manners, not caring but it’s probably the best city in the world to go to a bar by yourself…people strike up a conversation with strangers very easily

    Wow, I’d really enjoy this article of it was in any way relevant to me?? Isn’t this an Irish news site? How about you post something that actually benefits your readers.

    Okay, Andre, all news sites should stick to reporting news, events, personalities solely from their respective nations or localities. I’m sure plenty of people enjoyed this light toned article about a city in which Ireland has huge connections to.

    Exactly Aaron. If they posted it last year I wouldn’t have minded *as much* as I went to New York to work for the Summer.
