Auroville, an International Township founded by The Mother, is our Home. Auroville is the place that has seen us grow as children to the ever growing adults we are today, keeping the Ideals of Auroville close to our hearts and minds. Growing up and living in Auroville let us explore different aspects of our being and experiment in various fields and ultimately find our passion for aerial photography. 

​

In 2018, we had the idea to create a photo book consisting of aerial pictures of Auroville. Our goal was to create an artistic compilation of photos with quotes of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo that would compliment the photos and ideals of Auroville according to us. With its story, its ideals, its forest, its residents, its dirt roads, its architecture, Auroville is such a unique and special place not only for us but for thousands of other people. Using Aerial photography, we wanted to show a new perspective of this harmonious Beauty.

In 2019 we started our project by going around Auroville with a drone and capturing unique moments to create Aerial Auroville. Using this unique vantage point of “ a camera in the sky”, we have discovered the different colours, lights and textures of Auroville. Observing from a new perspective, the changes nature goes through was for us a unique experience. Depending on the time of the day and the season, we could see the colour of the soil, the lush of the forest, the colour of the trees, the intensity of the skies changing making us believe that we were in a completely different place and offering us a new canvas to work with each time.

Another of our focus was also on the uniqueness of Auroville’s architecture. The way buildings blend harmoniously with nature or how some of them completely stand out from the forest, motivated us to always push ourselves to get the shot that would best express it.
