1001Places - Incredible Aerial Photos by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

  Incredible Aerial Photos by Yann Arthus-Bertrand



























ABOUT Yann Arthus-Bertrand
French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand has an unbelievable portfolio of aerial photography, capturing some of the most beautiful places in the world.

When Yann was 30 he traveled to Kenya with his wife with whom he carried out a three-year study on the behaviour of a family of lions in the Massaï Mara reserve. He quickly started using a camera as a visual aid to capture his observations and enhance the written reports they compiled. While in Africa, he earned his living as a hot-air balloon pilot. This was when he really discovered the earth from above and the advantages of viewing what he was studying from afar to gain an overall picture of an area and its resources. He discovered his calling: to demonstrate the Earth’s beauty and show the impact of mankind on the Planet. His first book, Lions, was born of this adventure – he likes to call these lions his “first photography teachers.”

Yann is also the founder of the Goodplanet Foundation that aims to raise public awareness of environmental issues, implement carbon offset programmes and fight deforestation with local NGOs.
