Time to Rediscover America’s Southwest Through the Eyes of Drones

Drone photography is one of the positive sides of drones. It is a new addition to photography that enables you to rediscover the world. They can show you your favorite places from a different angle, probably one you have never seen before. Drones and only drones can take such pictures.

The eye-catching images differ from those taken by a plane, a helicopter, or a satellite. They are taken from a low altitude which gives them a characteristic fingerprint. As the devices are becoming cheaper and more popular, both amateur and professional photographers are tempted to experiment with them. Here, we get to view the results of this experimenting done by Turkish photographer

The first Flatlands series featured the photographer’s home city, Istanbul

A graduate of the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), Emily’s early work explored speculative urbanism and the boundaries between digital form and physical space. After a few years in Los Angeles working with boutique studios on concept-driven installations, she pivoted toward editorial work, drawn by the need to contextualize and critique the fast-evolving architectural discourse. At Arch2O, she curates articles that dissect emerging technologies, post-anthropocentric design, and contemporary spatial politics. Emily also lectures occasionally and contributes essays to independent design journals across North America.
