At an exclusive event in late May, a select group of photographers were invited to get a rare look at New York and capture it all with Sony cameras and lenses. Photographer, educator and all around interesting ambivert (yes It’s a real word), JN Silva (Instagram, Tumblr) led the group on the ground and in the air above The City.

Here’s a brief photo essay from the adventure.
