A Head For Heights

Aerial Hampstead Heath London Photography

I’ve recently been looking at a number of ways to get aerial shots of Hampstead Heath, and this week I met up with David and Conrad – tree management officers for the City Of London. They were kind enough to get me up in the Mewp (also known as a Cherry Picker) to gain height and do some reconnaissance in a few different locations. The knees just about held together at 17 meters up and the views were spectacular.

We’ve planned to do a shoot towards the end of the month once the leaves are fully out and the light is right. I’ll be posting the images on my Blog so watch this space!
