Louisiana seen from above

Aerial photographs give Louisiana’s familiar landscapes a different scale, bringing broad expanses, landmarks and people into a single view. Philip Gould, whose earlier work chiefly captured the state from ground level, uses drone and aircraft photography to change the vantage point. The collection also makes room for the environmental challenges facing Louisiana, while essays by journalist and folklorist Ben Sandmel add a written perspective. Together, image and essay frame the state both as a place to observe and as an environment under pressure.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers exploring Louisiana’s places and landmarks
  • Readers interested in environmental challenges and visual documentation

Book overview

We seldom get a full sense of Louisiana's landscape from the ground. The horizon can elude us, as foliage and structures often obstruct our view. From above though, the landscape opens up, revealing a broad sweep with remarkable depth. Louisiana from the Sky focuses on the world around us: landscapes, landmarks, and, from a distance, people. With clear eyes, the book also portrays the immense environmental challenges the state faces.

Since 1974, celebrated photographer Philip Gould has built a career capturing the Boot, primarily from ground-level. In this collection, he uses both a drone camera and high-winged aircraft to see Louisiana anew. Bolstered by essays from journalist and folklorist Ben Sandmel, Louisiana from the Sky offers a new vision of the Pelican State.
