In an era when most human contact happens on screens, it's easy to feel disconnected from the world around you. Photographer Vincent Laforet likes to take flight for a little perspective.
For his 2015 book, "Air," the Pulitzer Prize-winning aerial photographer traveled to 10 cities around the world and captured the sights from a helicopter soaring overhead. "When you're above it all, you can see the world is much smaller than you realized," he said.
Laforet shared some of the incredible photos from his book with us. You can see more of Laforet's work on his website.
