The city is the focus of many of Cássio Vasconcellos' images, and for the most part, they are captured from above, on helicopter flights.
The "São Paulo #6" edition shows the Jardins neighborhood in a way that is little known to the inhabitants of São Paulo. Captured in rare light amidst the fog of a winter morning, the viewer may have a hard time identifying some of the city's landmarks, such as Paulista Avenue in the background.
