photographer jason hawkes’ has mastered the craft of aerial photography over the course of his nineteen year career. using helicopters from which he takes pictures with cameras utilizing the latest gyrostabilizing mounts and lenses, hawkes creates stunning images.
hawkes says "i usually have to shoot at at least 1/1000sec of a second to get-around the camera shake caused by the helicopters and it took a lot of trial and error to perfect the technique"
here’s a brief video that gives an overview of his work over the years . . .
what characterizes hawkes’ work and makes it distinct from other aerial photography is his ability to see the confluence of the abstract and the organic in the ebb and flow of human and natural life. that they are often in direct juxtaposition in the same shot is no coincidence and is something that hawkes’ seeks out in his work. here are a few examples of a recent series shot over the skies of london . . .
