Young Self-Taught Photographer Captures Wanderers Against Magnificent Landscapes

Self-taught Canadian photographer Elizabeth Gadd described her photography niche better, perhaps, than anybody else when she said, "I, uh… shoot landscapey stuff… with people in them."

That, however, is something of an understatement. The 21-year-old photographer's body of work does, indeed contain "landscapey stuff with people in them," but that hardly does the spectacular vistas she photographs justice.

Beautiful Aerial Photographs of Africa Captured Through the Window of a Cessna

Photographer Joel Krahn has spent the last two years of his life putting his time and talents towards helping non-profits. And after two years of doing this work in his hometown of Vancouver, he was given the opportunity to take his endeavors overseas and shoot with On-Field Media, a media division of Nairobi-based organization Africa Inland Mission.

Over the course of the three months he was there, Krahn captured a gorgeous collection of aerial landscapes of the African environment -- from the Nile River weaving its way through South Sudan to rural villages in Kenya.
