Thank you for sharing this.
You’ve touched on a few photographic ideas both from a technical and from a creative standpoint.
Your comment you made stuck with me:
“…faceless people to it and created a whole different experience for me”
It made me think of a documentary I just saw recently called “HOME”. The production company has published for free in the YouTube screening room if you wanted to watch it. But essentially they did the same thing. We normally see wide landscape shots or people shots where the landscape acts as a background element. However, this documentary captures humans from aerial perspectives which helps the audience identify ourselves as animals. You never see a human face, only the human form.
Again, thank you for sharing this and I look forward to seeing your upcoming assignments!
