作为一名摄影师，Boaz摈弃了传统的透视方法，将自己完全暴露于天穹之下，由此产生了令人叹为观止的作品。Boaz所拍摄的每张照片都提供了一副罕见而精妙的自然和文明的构图。 Boaz最初是纽约市一家唱片行的老板兼音乐制作人，自从赢得了一次在曼哈顿上空的“没有门”的直升机之旅之后，便开启了他对新的体验领域的兴趣，从此他成为一名狂热的空中摄影师。Boaz对自己所见识的奇特景象产生起一种深刻的迷恋，致使他一次又一次地回到这些直升机的狭窄驾驶舱中，直到1000英尺高空的机舱成为了他的工作室。

As a photographer, Boaz defies a traditional approach to perspective and instead situates himself quite literally in the sky above. The resulting work is breathtaking and arresting. Each image captured by Boaz offers his audiences a rare composition of both nature and civilization in all their complexity. Originally a recording studio owner and music producer in New York City, Boaz became an avid aerial photographer almost entirely by accident after he won a “doors off” helicopter ride over Manhattan that opened his eyes to a new realm of experience. The oddity of what he saw sparked a deep fascination that led Boaz to return again and again to the cramped cockpits of such helicopters until he found in them a studio at 1000 feet above.

远离世界，翱翔天空，Boaz拥有一种广阔的视野。他在每次飞行时，借助颜色和纹理对地形进行探查并实时发展新理念。伴随着头顶螺旋桨转动的声音，Boaz通过无线电指挥飞行员在一片嘈杂中创造出平静而自然的图像。在谈到方法时，他解释道，“我在照片中寻找声音；我希望在那些节奏中找到类似于节拍层次构成的共生模式和快速变化的颜色。“通过这个独特的过程，Boaz在每张照片中都发现了一种审美上的和谐，宛如音轨上的音乐一般。

Flying well away from the world below, Boaz holds an eye in the sky. With it, he surveys terrain and develops concepts in real time as colors and textures flood into sight during each ride. Working under the throbbing sounds of the propellers overhead, Boaz directs the pilot over radio and creates spontaneous images of calm amidst chaos. In speaking of his method, he explains, “I seek out sound in my photos; I look to find those symbiotic patterns and fast-changing colors that play together in rhythm, similar to the layers that make up a beat.” Through this unique process, Boaz discovers a synesthetic harmony in each photograph just as he would if he was visualizing music on a track.

在本次展览中，13幅夏威夷、以色列、亚利桑那、加利福尼亚和基韦斯特的放大版印刷照片使得整个画廊中流淌着一种挥之不去的宁静。展览的邀请涵“沙漠岛”展示了翠绿色海洋的潮汐冲刷着阳光下的黄沙海滩，形成一道充满活力的波纹绿色的S形的海岸线，而远处的划艇和日光浴者小如蚂蚁。他以富有远见的方式来扩展观众看待日常生活的方式，这让人想起安德烈亚斯·古尔斯基（Andreas Gursky），他在莱茵河II（1999年）里也做了同样的事情，以超凡的技艺却轻松地捕捉了莱茵河的辉煌景色。

As a result, the 13 large-format dye sublimation prints of Hawaii, Israel, Arizona, California and Key West in this exhibition hold a lingering tranquility as they flow throughout the gallery. The exhibition’s invitational image “Desert Isle” shows the tides of an emerald green ocean washing over sunbeam yellow sands to form a vibrant ripple green that coalesces into an S-shaped coastline where distant row boats and sunbathers appear like ants. His visionary approach to expanding how audiences see the everyday is reminiscent of Andreas Gursky who did the same in Rhine II (1999) which captured the magnificence of the Rhine River with virtuoso ease.

Boaz借由俯瞰视角的空拍唤起人们对于宇宙的意识：即人类作为宇宙中的一个小点微乎其微。他把自己的影响力归功于Joan Miro，Christopher Nolan，Andreas Gursky，Annie Leibowitz和Edward Burtynsky。 Boaz出生于印度，与斯里兰卡渊源极深，后来从钦奈搬到了美国。他在罗格斯大学学习心理学，也是在那里，他第一次接触到了摄影。毕业后，他在苏荷区经营了一家录音室，之后他重新回归摄影，在国际摄影中心学习了包括数字版画在内的多门课程。 2019年5月，Boaz因其作品《民众》获得了《国家地理》杂志的摄影大奖。

Gifted with a sight of the world top down, Boaz’s aerial photography evokes a cosmic awareness of humanity as a tiny dot in the universe which borders on the surreal. He credits his influences to be Joan Miro, Christopher Nolan, Andreas Gursky, Annie Leibowitz and Edward Burtynsky. Born in India with deep roots in Sri Lanka, Boaz moved from Chennai to the United States. He studied Psychology at Rutgers University, but it was there that he also took his first photography class. After graduation, he ran a successful recording studio in Soho. Then, as he returned to photography, he took multiple courses including digital printmaking at the International Center of Photography. In May 2019, Boaz was announced as the winner of the National Geographic Adventure photography contest for his piece “All The People”.
