Summary

With more than 150 aerial photographs, this book is a trip over Brazil, presenting impressive landscapes and scenes with surprising forms. Allowing the reader to perceive familiar places - like Ipanema beaches or São Paulo skyscrapers - in a different way, as to recognize the beauty of unknown or unrecognizable landscapes. With more than 700 hours shooting aerial pictures, Cássio is the author of the largest aerial images catalog in Brazil. "The view from high up was amazing of course, but what appealed to Cássio much more was the freedom the machine gave him. Helicopters, unlike planes or any other flying machine invented by humans, are able to land and hover anywhere at will. (...) He needed to understand that machine. So he enrolled in a helicopter pilot course. Six years after his first flight, he already had a license. He could fly his own vertiplanos. As taking pictures and flying are incompatible activities, Cássio contented himself with the knowledge acquired, which he says is of great value when planning the flight and communicating with the pilot. The machine, then, becomes the photographer's body.."--Page [11].
