February 7 Presentation at the RA’s Photo Club Meeting
Putting a camera at an elevated perspective, closer to subjects than shooting from an aircraft, and without your feet leaving the ground is the idea behind Kite Aerial Photography, or KAP as it is called by practitioners. KAP is a relatively low-cost, portable and environmentally friendly way to achieve aerial photographs. It is not without risks and moments of anxiety. It can also be time consuming and often physically demanding. Composition control may have to be sacrificed in exchange for unique perspective but KAP is a great approach for capturing unique documentary images. With experience one can also produce striking artistic compositions not visible from the ground.
