VN #080: Aerial Perspectives 3 ~ Colour
Published: July13, 2025

Colour

Recently, I curated my entire collection of aerial images, most of which I made while photographing my book Flyover: British Columbia’s Cariboo Chilcotin Coast. As a result, I have created a selection of Visual Narratives to share my favourite images which describe the various aspects of the central British Columbia landscape from the air. They show the regions unimaginable diversity and spectacular beauty.

Aerial photography was new to me. I was apprehensive at first; not because of the challenges of aerial photography, but because I was not a good flyer. Air sickness was always a concern.

Before long, however, the excitement of seeing the land from a completely new perspective overrode all fears of flying. I was soaring with excitement and drama! I was in a land of light.

The element of colour took on a new meaning, especially when I saw the muddy brown Fraser River look like a ribbon of bright blue; it was the reflection of the blue sky above. I was photographing the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast as I had never seen it. Colour took on a new meaning.
