So you think you can photograph?

I have seen a lot of amazing pictures from India, but these by Nicolas Chorier stand out. What makes all this special is the fact that ariel photography is prohibited in India, well unless you get permission from the government and we all know how “easy” that is.

There is also the fact that there are angles and views that I have never seen, adding an entirely different perspective to all this. And add the fact that he actually uses a kite to take these pictures. You read it right, a Kite.

The BBC has a slide show of his pictures and you can find plenty more on his website.

I for one am getting the book.
