Artist Reception: Aerial Photography by William Daugherty

Aerial Photography by William Daugherty

William first visited the Upper Valley in the early 1990’s and has lived here since 2003. His interest in radio-controlled aircraft and photography began to merge in the late 2000’s. His drone photos focus on sunrise/sunsets, cloudscapes, New England towns, as well as natural and man-made landmarks. His photos have been compared to the paintings and illustrations of Maxfield Parrish who also lived and worked in Plainfield for over 60 years.
