Hobby perspective

360 aerial panoramas, curiosity from above.

Outside work, I create 360-degree aerial panoramas and publish them on 360Cities. It is a personal hobby built around patience, composition and the habit of seeing landscapes as connected systems.

The value is not only the final image. It is the process: choose the viewpoint, understand the terrain and notice how details change when the perspective becomes wider.
