Do you have a favourite aerial photographer? With the advent of technology comes the rise in popularity of aerial photography. Go on Instagram and you can easily find a plethora of talents showcasing their best work. One of the most attractive aspects about these aerial photographers is that they are usually well-travelled—and their images reflect that.
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all forms of non-essential travelling have been suspended and halted. Staying at home, self-isolation, and WFH are currently the norm for many. However, that does not, in any way, mean that you can’t still see the world—especially if you’re itching for your next vacation.
Although we don’t know when we’ll be able to travel again, these aerial photographers on Instagram can and will be a sense of salvation; for now at least. #Wanderlust.
