Reviews
Drone photography continues to grow in popularity. However, in his introduction to this book, Fergus Kennedy addresses a problem he personally experienced: ‘After the initial novelty had worn off, it was sometimes difficult to find the motivation and inspiration to get the drone in the air.’ This title is the latest in a series from Ammonite Press that has included books on street photography, Instagram photography and photographic exposure. It offers useful advice on tackling a range of subjects, including abstract nature images, sports and snow scenes; and each chapter is prefaced with a section offering technical or creative tips. It will give you all the inspiration and advice you need to dust off the drone in the cupboard and try something new. * Amateur Photographer magazine *
