#8: Feeding the World – with Aerial Photographer George Steinmetz

Known as 'the flying photographer', George Steinmetz is the
natural world’s leading aerial artist, being famous for his
trademark low altitude aerial photography, a special technique
that he has invented and perfected. He has done much of his work
with a foot-launched motorized paraglider, which he pilots while
taking pictures, as well as using drones to document climate
change and the global food supply.


His exploration and science photography has been featured in more
than 40 National Geographic photo essays, The New York Times,
Smithsonian, TIME, The New Yorker and many others, and in 2008,
he was named National Geographic Adventurer of the Year. His
numerous awards for photography include three prizes from World
Press Photo.


Most currently, he has published a book titled “The Human
Planet”, a sweeping visual chronicle of the Earth today,
considering issues such as climate change, sustainable
agriculture, and the ever-expanding human footprint.
