Lithuania has a rich mix of historical architecture and stunning natural landscapes, which I wanted to showcase from a fresh perspective. Aerial photography allows me to highlight patterns, symmetry, and contrasts that are often overlooked. Through my Instagram project, @toplithuania, I aim to capture the beauty of Lithuanian cities and nature across all seasons. Also, I think it's a kind of form of patriotism.

My process begins with planning—checking locations, weather conditions, and lighting to ensure optimal shots. Once on-site, I use my drone to explore different angles and compositions, focusing on details that might not be immediately noticeable. After capturing the images, I go through an editing process where I enhance colors, contrast, and sharpness while maintaining a natural look. Finally, I curate my best shots for publication, often sharing them on social media.

I hope my photography inspires people to appreciate Lithuania’s beauty from a new perspective. Whether it’s the intricate details of Vilnius Old Town or the vast landscapes of the countryside, I want viewers to feel a deeper connection to their surroundings. Additionally, I aim to highlight how different seasons shape the country’s visual identity.

Photography, especially aerial photography, has given me a new way to see the world. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, I encourage you to look at your surroundings with fresh eyes. There’s always something new to discover, even in places you think you know well. And after all - remember - light is a foundation, basis, king and queen.
