I&#8217;m always hunting for rare shots, and I love to snap slices of life and the world around us. Bringing my images to life through storytelling, and illustration techniques. Playing with composites, scale, colour and lighting &#8211; to create vibrant and colourful scenes that capture our escapist fantasies for travel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I\u2019m self-taught. I got my first SLR when I lived in Japan when I was 19, where it was cheap to develop film. I always loved to snap photos of my friends and community and just experimented through trial and error. My first drone 8 years ago and loved learning how to fly. And how the new tool opened up lots of avenues to capture photos from new perspectives.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q3<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>My first shots were with my parent\u2019s compact camera &#8211; pictures of my family usually while travelling in Japan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/angeljsanchez\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link external\"><i class=\"icon-instagram\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.angeljsanchez.com\/angeljsanchez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\"><i class=\"icon-globe-line\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\/?p=27215\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simon Heather is an award-winning photographer, designer, and illustrator with a focus on aerial drone photography.
