Not long ago, British aerial photographer Tommy Clarke released a series of aerial photographs taken from a swaying helicopter, capturing the breathtaking scenery of Antigua in the Caribbean. This impeccable collection showcases the white sandy beaches and crystal-clear blue waters of Antigua, with the sands dotted with colorful parasols and sun loungers, and swimmers in the water clearly visible. For those of you interested in immigrating to Antigua, are you eager to see these photos? Here are a few highlights for you.
Clarke says: “Currently, using drones is very popular in the aerial photography circle. I seem to be a bit of a traditionalist; I rent a helicopter, open the cabin door, and hang myself outside the aircraft to take pictures—I don't find using a remote-controlled drone to be that thrilling.”
He grew up on the south coast of England, and he spent almost every childhood holiday on the beach. This upbringing fostered his deep interest in the ocean, the sand, and the people playing there.
“I fell in love with seascapes and beaches... No one goes to the beach with beige towels, beige beach umbrellas, and wearing beige swimwear. On the contrary, we always wear the brightest colors to get close to the beach. Capturing vibrant colors on a canvas was the initial motivation that drove me to take aerial photos.”
In the past, Clarke has taken aerial photos of Bondi Beach in Sydney and Saint-Tropez on the Mediterranean coast. In these fascinating photos, we see calm seascapes dotted with sesame-sized boats and beachgoers in colorful swimwear. These captivating photos present the world's most beautiful beaches from a brand-new perspective. “Now, when I take aerial photos, I pay more attention to composition, but color remains an important identifier of my work.” Clarke now lives in the Brixton area of London. This collection of Caribbean island scenery will be on display at the Admiral's Inn in Antigua from April 17 to June 30. The exhibition is sponsored by Level One Garden.
