The Earth is Art, the photographer is only a witness. - Yann 

French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand, whose work has been published in the top international magazines (Geo, Life, National Geographic...), in 1995 undertook a project that had long been close to his heart to produce, on the eve of the 21st century, a real photographic inventory of the planet from an altitude of between 5 and 2,000 meters.

This project, sponsored by Unesco, led to a book, The Earth from the Air (La Terre vue du ciel), of which almost 800,000 copies have been printed worldwide a first for this type of book.

The Earth from the Air is not only a spectacular aerial portrait of our planet and its changes, whether or not these are due to human activity; it is also a geographical and scientific survey thanks to the contribution made by specialists (geographers, demographers, sociologists and others), who comment on the photographs referenced by precise geographical coordinates.

Photography: process of producing images through the action of light on sensitised surfaces.
