Aerial Photography: a photo taken from a plane or helicopter, or other high point. In every-day words, this is also called "Birds-Eye-View."
Aerial photographs give scope to the size and dynamics of an area. Most aerial photos are of cities, towns, or rural areas with fields. Some farmers will hire a photographer to take pictures of their land- then decades later have another photo taken to see how they have grown and expanded.
Aerial photographs are also useful when trying to make a political statement. A photo of a tree-stump has much less impact than an image of half of a mountain completely stripped bare of trees while the other side is a forest of green. Climate change is often demonstrated and highlighted using this type of photography.
Aerial photographs are used for real estate properties, in film industries, marriage and other parties. Now drones are helping to take aerial photos. I am an aerial photographer, working at Singaporeaerialphotography.com. I use drones to take photos.
