Jersey from the Air:

Surrounded by crystal clear waters and luxurious fine-grained sand, the beautiful island of Jersey is renowned for its picturesque scenery.

Jersey is blessed with breath-taking rural vistas and dramatic coastlines. Over the centuries, artists and photographers, both local and visiting, have taken advantage of this natural splendour, depicting the Island’s beauty in a variety of media and from many different outlooks.

Bam Perspectives, a local photography business has taken a distinctly 21st century approach to capturing the Island’s brilliance, by using drones to take aerial photographs of some the Island’s most loved features, as well as some of her best kept secrets.

Eight of Bam Perspective’s drone-captured photographs features across the eight stamps, showing the Island from a unique and exciting perspective of the island of Jersey.
