How people think I take my aerial photographs VS how I actually take them 📷🪁

How people think I take my aerial photographs VS how I actually take them.

It’s sometimes funny how even after explaining how I take my aerial photographs using a kite to lift the camera, people still often think I’m using a drone instead. But who would blame them? Only a crazy person would use a kite these days🤪.

Using a kite gives me many advantages over using a drone; I’m not subject to regulation in the way a drone is, I can lift a much heavier and higher quality camera than most drones will, and it’s more unique. It takes me EXCEPTIONALLY longer to use a kite and it’s much more frustrating but that is part of the artistic struggle I suppose. I’ve been creating my artwork this way for 15+ years and it’s taken me around the world many times over.
