No, while aerial photography is most commonly associated with aircraft, it can also be done from other elevated locations that offer a high vantage point. For example, photographers may use drones, helicopters, or even hot air balloons to capture aerial images. Additionally, some forms of aerial-like photography can be taken from tall structures, like observation towers, or from equipment suspended on cables. The key is that the camera is positioned above the subject to capture a bird’s-eye view.
