Kim Høltermand kbx< Kobas + Laksa > Miami Celebrity Portrait Photographer Florida Advertising Photography Spectacular Aerial Landscapes of Vibrant Salt Ponds in San Francisco Aerial landscape photography offers a fresh perspective of our world. While some photographers choose to rent a helicopter or an airplane to capture these unique angles from high above, photographer Cris Benton has chosen another route to gain access to the sky. He secures a radio-controlled camera to a kite and remotely composes each photograph by imagining what the camera sees from such great heights. In this series of work, also a book entitled Saltscapes, Benton explored the South Bay salt ponds, located at the south end of San Francisco Bay, in various states as they are restored into tidal marshes, mudflats, and other wetland habitats. "Not knowing much about the South Bay landscape, I was struck by the wonderful variety of colors and textures associated with the salt ponds. via [Monde Mosaic], [Berkeleyside]

Annie Liebovitz Born in 1949 in Waterbury, Connecticut, Annie Leibovitz enrolled in the San Francisco Art Institute intent on studying painting. It was not until she traveled to Japan with her mother the summer after her sophomore year that she discovered her interest in taking photographs. When she returned to San Francisco that fall, she began taking night classes in photography. Time spent on a kibbutz in Israel allowed her to hone her skills further. In 1970 Leibovitz approached Jann Wenner, founding editor of Rolling Stone, which he’d recently launched and was operating out of San Francisco. When the magazine began printing in color in 1974, Leibovitz followed suit. In 1980 Rolling Stone sent Leibovitz to photograph John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who had recently released their album “Double Fantasy.” Annie Leibovitz: Photographs, the photographer’s first book, was published in 1983.
