Aerial photography boasts a certain honesty. While from the ground, structures can be sheltered from public view, tucked behind pristine hedges or towering fences, when viewed from the sky there are few places to hide. For South Africa-based drone photographer Johnny Miller, this was the very appeal.

Unequal Scenes is a series of photographs taken first in South Africa, and later across the world, that sheds light on the unequal distribution of wealth and inequality currently present in society. Using a DJI drone, Miller photographs what you cannot see from the ground: extreme poverty living on the doorstep of privilege and wealth. While one photograph shows a luxurious golf course backing onto a densely populated settlement of tin shelters, another juxtaposes the swimming pools and private driveways of an affluent housing complex with a neighbouring township. There are at least four times the amount of dwellings sandwiched into the township than the private complex.

Drone photography captures the dramatic inequality of #Nairobi

American photographer Johnny Miller, supported by Code for Africa and the Thomson Reuters Foundation, has tried to capture that inequality through aerial images taken by drone. Miller previously photographed similar scenes in Cape Town in South Africa. In some ways the inequality is worse in Kenya. “The level of poverty is much greater than in South Africa,” he says, noting the challenges of operating in Nairobi. “It is much more fast-paced, chaotic, and difficult to maneuver.”

Le Cap, « ville mère » du continent africain, empire de la ségrégation raciale, « lavée » par l’arrivée au pouvoir de Nelson Mandela. Voici celle que Johnny Miller a photographié à l’aide de drones. Mais pas n’importe quel Cap Town. Celle de la fracture, de la limite, de l’entre-deux. Ses photographies représentent la discontinuité des territoires du golf, l’apartheid spatiale.

Divided cities: South Africa’s apartheid legacy photographed by drone
▻https://www.theguardian.com/cities/gallery/2016/jun/23/south-africa-divided-cities-apartheid-photographed-drone

Johnny Miller used a drone to take aerial photographs of the gulf in living conditions for the poor and the wealthy in South Africa. ‘During apartheid, segregation of urban spaces was instituted as policy,’ he says. ‘Roads, rivers, buffer zones of empty land and other barriers were constructed to keep people separate. Twenty two years after the fall of apartheid many of these barriers, and the inequalities they have engendered, still exist. Often, communities of extreme wealth and privilege will exist just metres from shacks’
