Award-winning Aerial Photographer Brad Walls has teamed up with The English National Ballet to create a unique photographic series shot from above. The photoshoot took place at the newly designed English National Ballet studio in Canning Town, North London and features six of the English National Ballet’s Corp de Ballet dancers.

Walls’ goal for the project was to disrupt traditional ballet photography, shifting its focus from individual dancers to the ballet corp. He believes that the beauty of ballet lies in its delicacy and teamwork rather than focusing on a singular dancer in a dramatic pose. Using only a drone, Walls created a series of 14 images that emphasize harmonious shapes and patterns captured from a height of 5-10 meters above the ground.

Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata has recently been very busy onboard the International Space Station. Not only has he just done his first space walk, but he’s been using his downtime to head to the cupola viewing dome with his camera. And his images are just stunning.

Take this one of Florida’s Key West. It could almost be an abstract painting. And then there’s the aerial view of the aptly named ‘Eye of the Sahara’.

Aerial photographs can not just convey a lot of information with one picture, but also tend to lift the spirits. There is something very special about the birds-eye view, which inspires photographers and viewers alike. Chandler Borries is a US travel, outdoor, and aerial photographer based in Lisbon. He started shooting aerial photography while traveling in Australia and says,

Since I was young, I wanted to learn how to fly. The perspective from above always intrigued me. I love telling a story with a drone as it gives you a different perspective and worldview.

Aerial photography gives us a unique perspective even on the scenes that we see every day. But when they capture powerful moments like volcano eruptions and fissures, they make us gasp in awe.

The Drone Photo Awards contest has shared its 2022 winners, and the overall winner shows a volcanic fissure captured from above. It was shot in Iceland and portrays a secondary fissure happening a few hundred meters from the main crater of Fagradalsfjall volcano during its eruptive phase in September 2021.

While my brain has been boiling at 39 degrees for weeks now, I can’t keep my mind of the climate change that’s happening right before our eyes. NASA recently released satellite images that illustrate this change perfectly.

The photos show the “bathtub ring” around Lake Mead taken in 2000, 2021 and 2022. Over the course of just two decades, you can see the rich lake turning into dry crevasses, reducing the America’s largest water reservoir to only 27% of its capacity!

Photographer captures breathtaking canyons with a 150 MP Phase One IQ4 and a helicopter

I find canyons and gorges to be among the most breathtaking places to visit and photograph. They’re as beautiful from a viewpoint as they are from air, and photographer Mitch Rouse sure proves it in his stunning aerial images.

While drones are easily available today, Mitch chooses a more complex, and I’d say braver method for taking his aerial shots. Pairing a Phase One IQ4 with his passion for photography and flying, he takes mesmerizing photos from up high. The series we chose shows the incredible beauty of canyons, and Mitch kindly shared the photos and some details with DIYP readers.[Read More…]

These drone photos look like an island is about to be sucked down an underwater waterfall

One of the beautiful things about aerial and drone photography is that you can appreciate the earth from a completely different perspective. You can often see things from an angle that from the ground you just can’t appreciate. These images that photographer Stefan Liebermann captured recently of what looks like an underwater waterfall do exactly that.

Stefan was visiting the Island of Mauritius and flew his drone over the Le Morne Brabant peninsula. The peninsula is on the far most South Western tip of the island and boasts its own microclimate. But don’t worry, the island isn’t in any imminent danger of being sucked down a waterfall under the sea, it is, of course, an optical illusion.

Aerial photo series shows massive solar plants in the US and Europe

When we step back and take a look at the bigger picture, it’s easier to see any situation more clearly. It’s similar to aerial photography: when you go up there and see the bigger picture from above, you’ll see so much that’s impossible to see from the ground.

With his work, German photographer Tom Hegen is the perfect example of this. He focuses on aerial photography that documents the traces we leave on the earth’s surface. In his project The Solar Panel Series, he photographed massive solar panel installations from the air. Not only his project focuses on the human’s impact on the earth, but the photos are exquisite and definitely not something you see every day.

Most of us have been taught that sharks are scary and that we should fear them. But photographer Scott Fairchild shows us that sharks and humans can coexist in peace. He recently captured drone footage showing two surfers and a great white shark swimming near each other in perfect harmony.
