AERIAL PHOTO LIBRARIES
Jason Hawkes offers aerial photography and has been doing it since 1991. He’s produced many books for the BBC and Harper Collins and other notable people and has a catalogue of over 100,000 images. You can search the site by location of by keyword.
Air Photana also stock over 100,000 aerial images. Many of the images concentrate on US locations but also cover from Alaska and Labradoe to Costa Rica.
