How does Janis Elspas's method of capturing aerial views of Maryland outperform other techniques?

I focus on a mix of timing, vantage point, and storytelling that tends to set my aerial Maryland images apart.

• I shoot from commercial flights or along highways at moments when the light is most flattering—late fall color along I‑295, or low, warm light over the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay.
• I frame shots to anchor viewers with familiar landmarks (like Reagan National, the Potomac River, or Baltimore) so the images feel both scenic and relatable.
• I prioritize natural, real-world perspectives over heavily processed, drone-style views, so my images feel like what you might see looking out the window, just composed more intentionally.

Is there a particular type of Maryland aerial shot you’re most interested in—city, rivers, coastline, or foliage?
