Aerial photography and videography offer a way to observe scale, context and spatial relationships from an uncommon perspective. In this section, we document our experiments with aerial shooting as a research and observational tool.
The subject of such experiments may vary — from natural landscapes and urban environments to construction sites, public events or night scenes. Each context requires its own approach, rhythm and visual logic.
An aerial view can reveal patterns that remain invisible from the ground: the interaction between space and movement, the relationship between objects, light and time. Because of this, the value of aerial shooting lies not in the flight itself, but in understanding why and how it is used.
We deliberately avoid a purely mechanical approach to shooting. Short battery-driven sessions without context rarely lead to meaningful results. Instead, we begin with observation: purpose, perspective, conditions and limitations.
Different situations require different visual strategies. A landscape study, a city block or a construction process all demand distinct attention to weather, time of day, motion and background details.
Preparation plays a crucial role, allowing the actual shooting process to remain focused and efficient.
RESULT
As a result of these experiments, we work with various visual formats: ■ raw video footage or edited video fragments:
■ still images or 360° panoramas:
