Nicholas Chorier is not your usual photographer. He is a kite aerial photographer. He uses a
kite to hoist his camera into the skies and clicks photographs while the camera dangles
precariously mid-air. As a teenager, Nicholas had two passions - photography and kite
flying. During a trip to India to make a photo report on kite making, he learnt about this
unique style of photography. Fascinated, he literally tied his two hobbies together for a living,
Nicholas learnt to make strong kites modelled on the Japanese kites, Rokkaku that could
endure harsh winds. A novice in his chosen field, he then set out to train himself.
Today he is one of the most well-known kite aerial photographers in the world. The
technique is to tie a cradle containing the photography equipment to the string of the kite and
then fly it, thus launching the camera into air. From the ground, Nicholas manipulates the
angles of the camera with a remote. An air-to-ground video link enables him to see the view
from the kite's vantage point. Once satisfied with the frame, he clicks a picture. However, the
job does have its pitfalls too.
Once, his kite disappeared in the Yamuna river, with his expensive camera in tow. He is
especially fond of India, having made a couple of trips and taken many spectacular photos.
"India is too vast and beautiful a country to be captured through the lenses in one life" he
says. He recently released a book, Kite's Eye View: India between Earth and Sky. Though it
includes photographs of off taken sites like the Taj Mahal, it shows them from a totally
different perspective.
