Jürgen Wettke and Richard Konecky met during a photo trip to Iceland. A passion for aerial photography was the element they shared in common. Fascinated by the diversity of Kenya’s structures, colours and unique light, the two aerial photographers set off on a journey to the remote regions of the East African country.

Jürgen Wettke is a German landscape and areal photographer. In addition to his career as the leader in an international consulting firm, and his professorship at the University of Düsseldorf’s Medical School, he has been a passionate photographer since he was a boy. Several of his photo books have been published by teNeues: The Art of the Wadden Sea, The Namib Desert and recently Iceland – Nature of the North.

Richard Konecky is a lawyer and photographer, born in New York and currently living in San Francisco. His photographic work includes informal and environmental portraiture, landscape, macro, abstract and aerial photography. He took his first aerial photographs during an earlier project in Iceland, and was struck by the changed perspective and geometry of the landscape seen from the air.
