Through his company, Skylark Aerial Imaging, he provides aerial video, still photography, and 3D modelling services to clients including the BBC, ABC Television, Canon Europe, Love Productions, WWF, and the Royal Navy. He has worked extensively in surveys and environmental mapping projects, and operates a small fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

Drone photography continues to grow in popularity. However, in his introduction to this book, Fergus Kennedy addresses a problem he personally experienced: ‘After the initial novelty had worn off, it was sometimes difficult to find the motivation and inspiration to get the drone in the air.’ This title is the latest in a series from Ammonite Press that has included books on street photography, Instagram photography and photographic exposure. It offers useful advice on tackling a range of subjects, including abstract nature images, sports and snow scenes; and each chapter is prefaced with a section offering technical or creative tips. It will give you all the inspiration and advice you need to dust off the drone in the cupboard and try something new. * Amateur Photographer magazine *
