More about the book

Once used only by the military for surveillance, drones are now commonplace, used for cartography, mail delivery, and now aerial photography. These small, affordable, lightweight machines can take pictures from up to 500 feet in the air and from places where no other device is able to fly.

Whether it’s a bird’s-eye view of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, a photograph taken inches away from an eagle in midflight, or a vertiginous shot taken above Mexico’s Tamul Waterfalls, DRONESCAPES presents stunning sights of our world taken from entirely new vantage points that highlight altitude as well as longitude and latitude.
