Big cities endear themselves to people in different ways. In a series by photographer Jeffrey Milstein, he captures his own New York and LA: steel and neon laid over a geometric network of streets. Captured from 1,000 to 2,000 feet above the two cities, these photos offer up the familiar, in a new light.
In a statement for LANY, Milstein’s new show, running concurrently at Benrubi Gallery in New York and Kopeikin Gallery in LA until Aug. 22, he writes, “I was interested in documenting the patterns, layering, and complexity of cities, highlighting airports, container ports, recreational facilities, and residential and commercial developments, all of which grow organically over time and are connected by roads and arterial highways like a living organism.”
