The View from Above : Vincent Laforet and the Art of Photojournalism

From the battle-scarred Middle East to hurricane-ravaged Louisiana, Vincent Laforet’s photos for the New York Times have captured the aches of a world in turmoil with a visual poetry that belies his relative youth. Though best known for his aerial photography, Laforet is also accomplished in post-production, with his pioneering digital workflow the subject of a profile by Apple. In this Spotlight, experience Laforet's creativity and insight first-hand, and see his work for yourself.
