New York from Above is a collection of spectacular photographs taken by Evan Joseph of New York City's most iconic landmarks and skyscrapers.

Commissioned by One World Trade Center for the opening of the iconic One World Observatory in May 2015 and only available at One World Observatory, this is the first time the book has been made available to the public. Evan Joseph, widely regarded as New York's top real estate photographer, has spent nearly three decades shooting the city's greatest tourist destinations and most coveted real estate, including the penthouses and homes of Sting and Trudie Styler, Rupert Murdoch, Jon Bon Jovi, Alex Rodriguez, Sean P. Diddy Combs, and many others. The book includes brief descriptions by Joseph about his process for getting the perfect shot, including death-defying shots from the exterior of a helicopter.
