Kite aerial photography (KAP)
I know a good thing when I see it. Pioneering aerial photography before it was mainstream! In 2004, I stumbled upon Kite Aerial Photography (KAP) as a unique and exciting way to capture aerial footage. At the time, drone photography wasn’t even on the radar yet. I experimented with different types of kites and cameras, trying to find the perfect combination for stunning shots. It was challenging, but the end result was always worth it. Now, with the rise of drone technology, KAP may have taken a backseat in popularity, but it will always hold a special place in my heart as a pioneering and creative way to capture the world from above.
KAP is a type of photography where the camera is lifted using a kite and is triggered either remotely or automatically to take aerial photographs. The camera rigs can range from the extremely simple, consisting of a trigger mechanism with a disposable camera, to complex apparatus using radio control and digital cameras. On some occasions it can be a good alternative to other forms of aerial photography.
Drone Photography
There is something truly remarkable about the ability to capture aerial shots with a drone. It allows us to see the world from a perspective that was once only available to birds in flight. With my drone photography, I am able to capture the beauty of sweeping landscapes and urban architecture in a way that is both unique and breathtaking. Through my lens, I strive to convey the true essence of each moment, to immortalize it forever in a stunning image that will leave viewers in awe. It is a powerful tool that allows us to explore the world from a new angle, to see things in a way that we never thought possible. Let me help you experience this freedom and view the world in a whole new light with my drone photography services.
