Photographing People from Above (13 photos)

Amsterdam-based German photographer Katrin Korfmann loves photographing people from above. But unlike many high-altitude photographs taken from small aircraft, Korfmann has chosen a rather modest method. She photographs from cranes, and when there are no cranes nearby, she attaches her camera to a small remote-controlled helicopter.







1. Katrin Korfmann takes several photographs and then merges them. The result is a photo that requires two to three months of work and reviewing 500-2000 photographs.

2. Since Katrin takes photos at different times, she has to resort to photo manipulation to create a photo that appears cohesive and unified.



3. "From above, people all look alike," says Katrin.



4. "My idea is to create two dimensions: one when you look from afar, and the other when you zoom in and see people up close."



5. "That's when you see the difference—in their clothes, their bags, what they're holding."
