Ian Bonner

As a certified A2 CofC drone pilot under the UK Civil Aviation Authority, I combine creative aerial photography with a strong commitment to safety and responsible flying. Born in East London but now based in Essex, United Kingdom, I have had several of my photographs in local publications. Much of my work is made locally, in places I return to often. Rather than chasing dramatic conditions, I tend to photograph slower moments - low tide, flat light, and the in-between states, where the landscape settles into itself. What draws me to aerial photography is the ability to see familiar landscapes differently. From above, coastlines. marshland, historic structures, and countryside patterns take on an entirely new form - revealing textures, symmetry, and quiet details that are often missed from the ground. I have a selection of my photographs on sale as prints on my website.
