Kite’s-Eye View India

Aerial Photography is prohibited in India. It can only be done with permission from various government agencies. It is for this reason that there are hardly any substantial books on India from the air. For the first time , Nicolas Chorier achieves this feat by using the fascinating technique of kite photography (taking aerial picture by using a kite to lift the camera). The book showcases the finest work of the French photographer, who has been shooting in India for many years and is a master of the art form. Seen here are unique and spectacular views of the wonder of India , jewels such as Amber Fort, Mehrangarh Fort, Nagaur Fort, Pushkar, Chittorgarh, Taj Mahal, Hampi, Mammalapuram and the beaches and backwaters of Kerala. Accompanying the pictures is the photographer’s anecdotal take on his India odyssey. For anyone who loves India and its rich heritage, this lavish book is a sumptuous treat for the eyes.
