Each section begins with a piece on each photographer showcases the work that they are supposed to be masters in with each image is a title with a short explanation of the image and the inspiration/journey undertaken to capture it. In each chapter is a short question and answer section attempting to delve a bit deeper into each pilot.
All in all, I really like this book there is some stunning imagery in it and it is all arranged around the different styles or ‘Masterys’. It is a charming book to dip in and out of and allows you to explore a particular genre of drone photography at a time.
