As perhaps the world’s only artist-photographer who works primarily from a helicopter, Dale Fisher captures and transforms his subjects using color, light and shadows – all while skimming over his subjects at ground speeds of up to 120 miles per hour. In the US Navy, he began shooting with a camera from the skies as an aerial reconnaissance photographer. In the ‘60s, Fisher traveled the country in a Ford pickup truck with a camper top darkroom, towing a rather lengthy trailer with his helicopter. Now working in the digital format, Fisher currently resides and has his studio on a 200 year old farm in Grass Lake, Michigan, and his work can be found in public and private collections across the country.
