5 Photographers Creating Spectacular Images of the World From Above

Sometimes the best photographs come from simply looking at the world from a different perspective. The five photographers featured below have all taken this sentiment to daring heights, abstracting landscapes via a bird’s-eye view.

From Miks Mihails Ignats’ portraits that obscure perception to Vladimir Melnikov’s unlikely view of a wildfire devouring the land, and from Mariusz Szczygiel ‘s and B Brown’s graphic displays of industry from above to BMJ ‘s vision of an ocean in which boats look like bathtub toys, each of these photographers brings a unique eye to aerial photography.
