Vincent Laforet is at it again, this time photographing Nevada‘s Sin City from an elevation of 10,800 feet (8,799 feet above the city). Part two of Laforet’s dizzying series of city aerials, the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer was drawn to desert city of Las Vegas because of its “island” effect.
“Just like the island of Manhattan that started this series, Vegas is an “Island of Light” in the middle of nothingness… A sea of black with an amazing source of light emanating from Vegas and its infamous strip… You can almost see the electricity running through it.”
A collection of “Sin City” images, after the break.
The full set of Vincent’s photos of Las Vegas can be seen on Storehouse. You can also follow Vincent’s work on his personal blog, or visit his website here.
