17 Vertical Drone Photography Compositions for Inspiration

Share:  

Getting photography composition right has always been the greatest challenge for the photographer. And while there are many traditional compositions to be taken from the air, aerial photography from airplanes introduced the vertical “straight down” composition that produced some very interesting shot. With the explosion in drone photography, the availability of this as a realistic option for many photographers has seen a massive increase in this wonderful way of looking at the world.

Now, the vertical composition is wonderful, but you really should take things even further with advanced composition choices. Take a look at Kent Dufuault's excellent guide to Advanced Composition for that, but in the meantime enjoy this inspirational post of vertical compositions from drones.
