All his life man strives to overcome the chaotic essence of nature: to "fit" it into the existing framework, to subordinate it to the rules. One of the vivid examples is the endless fields, which, if viewed from a bird's eye view, resemble either a striped terry robe or a colorful illustration from a geometry textbook. He has a special love for such landscapes Alex MacLean - one of the most popular aerial photographers in the world.
Alex McLean has been “sick” in the sky since the distant 1975, when he first took to the ground in his four-seater Cessna 182. Since then, the passion for flying has not subsided, the photographer has spent more than 6,000 hours in the sky without letting go of his camera. McLean is an architect by training, which is probably why he is so impressed by the straight lines on the multi-colored fields or the bizarre patterns on the uninhabited plains.
The photographer enthusiastically talks about each of the flights, admitting that you can even smell the flowers in the cockpit. McLean now resides in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and flies several flights every day, each of which can last two to three hours. Sometimes he gets out over long distances, spending six to eight hours at the helm. True, long-distance flights around the country are not to Alex's liking: he has to circle over every object he likes for too long.
It is noteworthy that, in addition to aesthetic value, Alex's photographs can often have practical application: for example, the lens of the master often includes areas where excessive pollution of the environment is fraught with environmental disasters.
Aerial photography is a popular trend in contemporary art. Previously, we introduced our readers not only to the works of Alex McLean, but also to the photographs of Jason Hawkes, Bernhard Edmaier and Stephan Zirwes.
