Indulging in the art of travel photography takes on a whole new dimension through the lens of Lee Mumford, a British pilot, videographer, photographer, and drone pilot. Unlike traditional travel pictures, Lee elevates the genre with his breathtaking aerial images that encapsulate the beauty of landscapes and sceneries from his global travels as a pilot.
Lee’s photographic journey began with a desire to share the mesmerizing facets of our planet with a broader audience. Faced with the challenge of expressing the full splendor of the places he visited, he delved into mastering the intricacies of photography – exploring composition, understanding lighting, exposure, and perfecting the art of post-processing.
In Lee’s own words, “My love for photography blossomed during my travels. I aimed to convey the Earth’s beauty to a wider audience. Wrestling with the notion that ‘photos don’t do it justice,’ I sought ways to capture every detail in a single shot. This involved honing my skills in composition, understanding lighting, exposure, and refining my editing techniques. The positive response my photos received online motivated me to venture out and capture more. In the midst of life’s distractions, photography has become my way of immersing myself in nature, leaving everything else behind.”
