Aerial perspectives, also known as aerial views or bird's-eye views, are a popular technique used in photography, film and art to capture a view of an object or landscape from above. Another synonymous term for aerial perspectives is 'aerial photogrammetry', which describes the process of using various photographic techniques to produce detailed images of a landscape or object. In addition, 'zenith views' refer to images taken from directly above, while 'oblique views' show a diagonal perspective, which can add depth and realism to an image. Finally, 'overhead shots' and 'drone views' are more contemporary terms commonly used in film and photography to describe aerial perspectives that are captured using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones.
