Aloft: Textured landscapes of Jordan
Aloft: Textured landscapes of Jordan
Bringing a unique perspective to Jordan’s incredibly diverse and vibrant landscape, this book explores Jordan from above, showcasing its beauty via a combination of aerial photography and orthophotography.
In 2018, Bashar Tabbah joined the Aerial Archaeology in Jordan (AAJ) project, which has been photographing and monitoring Jordan’s heritage sites for the past 26 years, crucially serving as both an investigative project—to document and log previously undiscovered sites—and as a documentary project—to record the destruction and loss of sites over time.
While working with the AAJ, Bashar brought his own perspective to the project, to not only document, but take an artistic approach to aerial photography at every opportunity. This bilingual (Arabic-English) book brings together the most beautiful and impactful shots taken between 2018 to 2024.
The book measures in at 160 pages, 21.5 x 28.5cm
