Landmarks from Above

Four landmarks in the North East of England. Four completely different subjects. One thing in common: none of them look this way from the ground.

Here’s a look at four we’ve captured across the North East, and how each one asks for something different from the drone.

The Angel of the North rises above the treeline, revealing the full span of its wings.

Northumberlandia, the reclining figure that only reveals herself from above. From the ground you’d never know the trails and ponds form a face at all.

The Tyne at Gateshead, the Millennium Bridge and the Baltic framed together as an urban riverside.

The North East coastline, where the beach, wooden groynes and cliffs come into focus at scale.

Every subject demands its own height, framing and light. That work may be invisible in the final image, but it shapes the entire result.

Some views can only be seen from above.
