This book is "eye candy", page after page of exquisite photos of the topper-most architectural features of Art Deco buildings in New York and other major American cities, cleverly "photo-shopped" from multiple drone images.

FAQ
How are the images created?
Using a drone, Chris Hytha takes a photograph of each floor of the building, then stitches the images together to create a high-res scan. The image is then edited in Photoshop to best express the character and personality of the structure. Each image takes between 1-5 hours to edit.
How was the book made?
The Highrises Collection is a independent, self-funded project started by Chris Hytha. The book was designed by Chris Hytha compiling photos from nearly 3 years of traveling to document each building. The book was originally published in December 2023.
Why does the book Cost $100?
Highrises Art Deco was self published in a small run of 2,000 copies. Premium finishes were selected throughout, including gloss photo paper, a heavy cardstock cover and the massive 10” x 15” print size. Additionally, this project was self-funded by Chris Hytha, and involved extensive travel expenses, a 2 years of full time effort.
What is the refund policy?
If your book arrives with a dinged corner, or any other defects, we will send a replacement copy.
