Aerial photography is the taking of photographs of the ground from an elevated position. The term usually refers to images in which the camera is not supported by a ground-based structure. Cameras may be hand held or mounted, and photographs may be taken by a photographer, triggered remotely or triggered automatically.

Platforms for aerial photography include fixed-wing aircrafts, helicopters, balloons, blimps and dirigibles, rockets, kites, poles and parachutes. Aerial photography should not be confused with Air-to-Air Photography, when aircraft serve both as a photo platform and subject.

Aerial photography was first practiced by the French Photographer and balloonist Gaspard-Felix Tourchanon, known as “Nadar”, in 1858 over Paris, France.
