Description:
Home is the work of Yann Arthus-Bertrand, perhaps the best known aerial photographer on the planet. It is a long film and to many has been hard to witness as much of the footage shows the devastation left behind from decades of human destruction. However, the film ends on a positive uplifting note and inspires the viewer not to bury their head in the sand, but to face up to our human impact and start acting.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this project is that it’s completely not-for-profit and copyright-free, enabling the movie to freely circulate around the web. The high production values and original musical score were enabled by numerous sponsorships under the organization of the Good Planet Foundation. In addition to being available on the project’s YouTube channel in HD, it is also possible to legally download a torrent of the film. It’s a stunning collection of images and is definitely worth checking out.
Yann has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide of his seminal photo essay Earth From Above, a decade-spanning attempt to photograph all the vistas of the planet from the sky, whether by helicopter, hot air balloon, or anything else that flies.
Arthus-Bertrand seeks to uncover the story behind the landscape, not just create a pretty picture. Indeed, his subjects are not always photogenic -- his prints show poverty and strife as well as green tranquility; and everywhere in his work is the encroaching hand of humanity and its enterprise. He keeps close track of the coordinates of his locations, so other photographers may track their progress over time.
