1 janv. 1955 - Before 1956 - Air Photography

Description:

At one point, the Iraqi government wanted to advertise their new Trident plane. We decided the best way to do so was to photograph it flying over a uniquely Iraqi landmark, the Shrine of Musa al-Kadhim, just outside Baghdad, which has two domes. This was Jack Percival’s idea. We got into the IPC’s Viscount plane to do the shoot. From the air, I saw things in a different way. It was a very different sensation. Colours were different. I saw the contrast more clearly between the ugly and the beautiful. Everything was more exposed. Nothing could be hidden
