Photographer Stefen Chow has captured a collection of aerial park images using a drone. The series titled 'The Play Project' was created as the result of a collaboration between he and his wife, Lin Hui-Yi.
The couple hired an aerial photography company called Avetics to help them capture views of parks from above. Using maps to guide each drone to a specific location in Singapore, Avetics was able to snap hundreds of beautiful photographs. An employee from Avetics would guide a drone carrying Chow's Nikon Coolpix, a compact camera. Using an LCD screen, either Chow or another Avetics employee would snap the perfect image in the series of gorgeous playground views.
These aerial park images honor Stefen Chow's childhood, which was spent running and jumping through various playgrounds.
