“I stand upon this desk to remind myself that we must always look at things in a different way”.
Professor John Keating uttered those words in one of my favourite movies, titled “Dead Poets Society”. I believe they are very well suited to photography. Drones, equipped with cameras, are a new and perfect way to accomplish this.
My first drone was attached to the back of a motorbike during a six months solo quest for images in Africa. It allowed me to capture aerial images of many places, such as Cape Town in South Africa, Victoria Falls in Zambia or the Great Migration in Kenya.
When starting Rise Above Lebanon, I did not realize just how much I was going to discover. I had left Lebanon in 1998 and had been increasingly drawn to new destinations, different cultures, people and places, while exploring my photogra- phy. I had grown more and more detached from home, thinking I had exhausted what could be photographed, believing there was no room for surprise, creativity or inspiration. But the limitations were in me. Five months roaming across all of Lebanon have shown me just how wrong I was, and the images I share with you in this book tell a completely different story; One of utter beauty and diversity, of resilience and immensity. I can only hope that while going through this book, you too might feel like you are standing upon your desk and looking at things in a different way.
