Jessica Ambats – Pulse-Pounding Aerial Photography by SmugMug

As part of an ongoing series of specialized photographers, SmugMug has featured aerial photographer Jessica Ambats. This video captures Ambats in action as she shoots Cessnas, Beechcrafts, and the Areo L-39 from above while dealing with variable conditions and communicating with her pilot – quite a balancing act!

(Full disclosure: Here at Outdoor Photographer, we’re completely biased towards Jessica’s talent. When not out shooting, she’s meeting deadlines across the hall from us as the Editor of Plane & Pilot Magazine!)
