In the City of Angels, one photographer received an heavenly view.

Vincent Laforet has flown all around the United States capturing stunning aerial images above New York, Las Vegas and San Francisco. His most recent and largest photo series to date is a breathtaking view of Los Angeles' sprawling metropolis. The second largest city in the U.S. revealed its winding streets and hillside to Laforet as he flew at an altitude of over 10,000 feet by helicopter snapping the endless landscape.

Los Angeles was unlike like any other city Laforet had shot before. The lack of nucleus and random streets cutting the city in half made it his hardest series to shoot as well as his most beautiful. The city also had more land area than all of the previous cities he'd visited combined, making it extremely difficult to capture everything in just a single one hour flyover.

Check out Laforet's incredible photos below and see the city of Los Angeles in all its splendor.

Laforet got incredibly lucky with crystal clear skies on his helicopter ride over the city. Pilots told him that the city usually has a thick layer of fog over it and that it was one of the clearest nights they'd seen in awhile.

Laforet currently has plans to go abroad and shoot other major cities. He plans on flying to Europe in May to capture aerial photos of Londen, Barcelona, Paris and more. Shooting in Europe means stricter and more expensive air traffic control permits as well as travel expenses. He plans on making money though publishing his photo series as books to help keep costs low.
