Aerial Landscape Photography Porn – Iceland Style

Over the years I’ve kicked out a bunch of vids shooting from the skies on commercial gigs, like here, here, here and here for starters. But occasionally, on the heels of a commercial assignment based out of a particularly stunning location, I’ll treat myself to some heli time shooting my ongoing aerial fine art project (personal work with dose of adventure). In fact, I’ve documented these adventures before — like here in New Zealand. I even did a how-to shoot aerial photography thingie here from Belize… but truth be told, all this flying never gets old.

And so it stands to reason that I’m rolling out another bit of aerial photo porn today in hopes of bringing a little joy/beauty to your day AND of course celebrating a quick hit to a gorgeous little corner of Iceland. Please enjoy. As always, taking your questions and comments below, answering those that I can muster.

[And, lastly, before you eeeeeven dismiss this post/video and say “This is so outrageous, when will I ever get to shoot from a helicopter,” I’ll just say that every photographer who has ever shot from a chopper has said those same words at some point… only to find themselves at a future date pulling heavy G turns and shooting from a blue sky somewhere. You can probably even hitch a sightseeing ride for less that it costs to rent a lens for the weekend, so take it all with a grain of salt and enjoy. And, of course, a HUGE shoutout to my guy Big Chocolate for the beats.]

  2. Looks awesome, closest I’ve gotten is fighting the kids for the window seat every time we fly. My buddy (Flight for Life Pilot) tells me I’ve got to break my leg to get a flight with him…I know it’s gonna happen (flight, not the leg)! Still waiting for an ET option as well

    1. Can still get some nice photos w that program too! Especially now that you can…um…have your camera turned on during takeoff and landing 😉

  3. Stunning imagery and video! I

    n the video it looks you shot most with the D4(S), isn’t the number of Megapixels limiting? Or did you also shoot with the D800/810?

    keep up the excellent work and the behind the scenes!

    1. The D4s has plenty of everything I need. The 810 certainly has more megapixels…just not quite as sweet / necessary IMHO. Both are great cameras.

  4. Looks like a lot of fun and great images. Thanks for the video and all the positivity you’ve been putting out for those of us who aren’t there yet

    2. Since Chase won’t say it, I will. Who the hell are you too be a dick for no reason? Chase takes great photos and is always fairly humble and gracious. So let’s see your work so we can all be assholes to you.
