UK Aerial photography

Welcome to one of the worlds largest online collections of oblique UK aerial photographs.

The image library contains thousands of aerial photographs of England Scotland and Wales , UK including some of the best London aerial photos money can buy. I am currently uploading many more. Even in the recession I am shooting vast numbers of images with 40,000 in 2011 and 35,000 in 2010. Before the recession the numbers were vast with over 87,000 images have been taken in 2009 which was  a record year with my feet being on the ground very little of the time! Despite the recession 2011 was also very busy with new books being published and many new photographs and I have lots planned for 2012. All Webb Aviation gallery images are taken by

By a quirk of fate I am also covering Germany and am now fluent in German. I can also communicate in French by email if required. All the aerial photographs in the picture library are free to view as full page images and available to purchase as prints or high resolution digital files. I am currently shooting up to 85,000 aerial photographs a year so there are many more photographs in stock than online so it is always worth emailing a special request. With 2 million visitors in 2012 my gallery  is one of the biggest and  most popular galleries  in the world for free to view online oblique aerial photographs of the UK.

News May 2008, The Royal Photographic Society have awarded me the distinction of Associate of the Royal Photographic Society. This is a great honor and is a little unusual in that it is based purely on my aerial photographic work and also unusual that I have gained the distinction of Associate without first having gained the distinction of Licentiate.

Technological revolution: My work from  2008 took a giant leap forward with what is possible following my acquisition of the 21 Mega Pixel Canon 1DS Mk III, Kenlabs KS-8 Gyro stabilizer coupled with some pretty special lenses. I can now easily read many car numbers from 1500 feet with the long lens photographs and can photograph in complete darkness with my ultra fast lenses. From 2013 I am now also using the new Canon 5dIII with even more detail.

See some large large samples These samples are very heavily compressed with just a small fraction of the data you get in the supplied images. Business customers can email me for a higher quality sample if required.

As a specialist in professional aerial photography I can produce a very high resolution image. Click here to see an example of my l aerial photography and here to see another  full resolution sample but this time taken at night. I usually fly from Stapleford Aerodrome in Essex, providing specialist aerial photography in London and the South East, Wellesbourne aerodrome covering the midlands and  Manchester, covering northern England and Edinburgh covering Scotland. I also have at least one aircraft in Wales.  For Germany I can legally fly from almost any airfield but my favorites are Mülheim am Ruhr and Koblenz.
