Jasper James 'City Silhouettes' images
Stunning visuals that just might give you vertigo

No, those people pressed against plate-glass windows dozens of stories in the air aren't jumpers: They're merely the subjects of Jasper James' "City Silhouettes" series, a collection of portraits that the photographer created by superimposing his models' reflections over sweeping city skylines and other aerial views.

In this intriguing form of urban art, James positions smooching couples, plugged-in businessmen, and even an obviously nonacrophobic baby to gaze out over the landscapes in front of his lens. What's most amazing about these skyscraper snapshots: the range of emotions that are possible to capture with just a touch of f-stop finagling and an understanding of how to work the concrete jungle into his compositions.

What's the best aerial view you've seen?
