Petra Leary's bird's eye view of basketball courts

Petra Leary sees the world from above. She skates around cities, focusing her lens on becoming the world’s top aerial photographer. The 28-year-old New Zealander is the subject of a newly released Loading Docs short documentary, Bird’s Eye! She has spent the past few years taking award-winning aerial photographs of basketball courts. ‘I love just how simple they are, they are all the same formula, but they’re all different too,’ Leary says. ‘Some are wooden, some are concrete, there’s something that just catches my eye. I just love them.’
