Michael Shield's "Anatomy of L.A."

Art, Editorials
The Anatomy of LA, consists of large-scale photographs and an 84 page hardcover book, exploring the social and physical themes of Los Angeles and its neighborhoods by photographer Michael Shields. It is a look into the nature of a city that was planned and built unlike any other metropolitan on this planet. The detailed, aerial photographs taken from flights on board active duty LAPD helicopters capture fleeting moments, which are, under most circumstances, reserved for the privileged few. Through his images one can see the environment that these building blocks have shaped and produced, ultimately giving the viewer a new take on the city of Los Angeles.
