Sports photographer Illanna Barkusky's eye-catching aerial series features athletes on courts as seen from above.
started her colorful and geometrical aerial sports court series by chance after receiving a full drone pilot’s license and flying over areas she hadn’t been able to shoot before.Based in Los Angeles, California, Barkusky is an award-winning sports and aerial photographer and director. Sports photography had always been on Barkusky’s radar since she first used up a camera, but it wasn’t until later that she began exploring the options a career in a creative field provides.
“I had never intended for it to become a series, but after I had shot a couple of locations in this way, it made sense to keep building on it,” she says. “A few art producers I had been meeting at the time with suggested I keep things going and see what comes of it, which was great advice!” “Park and city managers were extremely accommodating in helping me gain the permission I needed,” she explains. ” I was also able to socially distance easily with the drone in the air and myself out of view, which meant there was little to no risk to the athletes involved.”
“That being said, I would usually avoid flying the drone at the location ahead of time,” she says. “I was continually amazed at the compositions that would reveal themselves from the air once the athlete was in motion, so I wanted to keep a level of unpreparedness to let the magic unfold.”
