Auckland-based photographer Petra Leary uses drones to capture aerial images of basketball courts across New Zealand. “My idea was to show the variety of styles and colours of the courts, and the geometry of the markings that people who use or pass these daily would never otherwise see,” she says. Her Daily Geometry project began in 2017 and currently comprises 10 photographs – recently shortlisted for the 2019 Zeiss photography award. She hopes to extend the project across the world. Bird’s Eye, a documentary about Leary and her project, will be ready later in the year. “A friend of mine gave me a turn on his drone a few years ago and I was instantly hooked,” she says. “Drone photography allows people to see how the most basic and simple objects are sometimes the most eye-catching from a different perspective.”
