From a height, the world looks completely different from what we are used to seeing from the ground. This is probably why aerial photography is becoming more and more popular. We invite you to get acquainted with the best masters in this genre and their amazing works.
1. Jan Arthus-BertrandFrenchman Jan Arthus-Bertrand (Yann Arthus-Bertrand) flew over 150 countries by helicopter as part of the Earth from above project. From more than half a million stunning images taken in various parts of the world, the best were selected: they were included in the photo album, published in 24 languages of the world and became a real bestseller.
2. David MaiselNew York-based photographer David Maisel has been involved in aerial photography for over 20 years. One of the main themes of his work is the negative impact of man on the environment. Pictures of quarries and deforested forests are striking in their scale and, despite their disappointing content, fascinate with their disturbing beauty.
3. Daniel Dancer Daniel Dancer (Daniel Dancer) Before you shoot from the sky, you need to work on the ground. The photographer attracts school students to his projects, dresses up children in bright multicolored T-shirts and makes huge living mosaics from them. One image can involve from several hundred to several thousand participants.
4. Ian CoristinePhotographer Ian Coristine has a special love for the islands: his project "The 1000 Islands", as the name implies, includes images of many islands from different parts of the globe.
5. Frantisek StaudCzech author Frantisek Staud loves to travel all over the world and take photographs both from the ground and from heaven. The pictures taken in the Namib Desert are simply amazing and leave an indelible awareness of the greatness of the desert in the soul.
6. Jason HawkesIf for most people aerial photographs of endless desert sands or uninhabited islands are the only opportunity to see these places in general, then pictures of cities allow you to take a fresh look at the well-known neighborhoods and sights. Jason Hawkes (Jason Hawkes) we offer a bird's eye view of London.
7. Evan LeesonEvan Leeson rises so high that he simply cannot see the ground behind the clouds. Therefore, it is the clouds that he photographs. You don't often see the sky under your feet, right?
8. Nicolas ChorierIn order to take aerial photographs, it is not at all necessary to rise into the air yourself. You can simply attach the camera to the kite, as, for example, the Frenchman Nicolas Chorier does.
9. Mohammad KheirkhahIranian photographer Mohammad Kheirkhah presented the world with images of Muslim pilgrims in Saudi Arabia: more than two million Muslims go to the holy city of Mecca every year.
10. George SteinmetzGeorge Steinmetz is one of the renowned masters of aerial photography. One can talk about his works indefinitely, but it is best to see them once.
