FlyNYON — Chris Henry Photography

FlyNYON

This photo series was commissioned by FlyNYON, a premier helicopter flightseeing company in New York City. They brought me along to create a body of work that captured the excitement and adrenaline of their open-door flights around Manhattan, with the images intended for use across their website, advertising, and social media campaigns.

My role was to translate the experience into visuals that felt both cinematic and authentic. The shoot took place during an evening flight, where the lighting shifted from soft blues to warm amber and gold, casting the city in dramatic tones. Many of the photographs highlight FlyNYON’s signature offering—hanging your feet over the edge of the helicopter as the skyline stretches beneath you.

The final series delivers a mix of exhilaration and atmosphere: sweeping aerial views, dynamic perspectives of passengers in action, and iconic landmarks presented from a vantage point few ever get to see.
