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!)
