American photographer
George Steinmetz spent years hanging from a paraglider, and later operating drones, to get amazing views of the Earth. His pictures offer us just enough distance to see what we’re doing to Earth, but not so much that we feel detached. He learned to fly a motorized paraglider—and did so “for about 15 years,” he says, “until drones came along and democratized the low altitudes that I used to have all to myself.”
