“You can make out trees, you can make out animals, you can see things that are recognizable to an extent… But at the same time because of the bird’s-eye view, so to speak, things are slightly abstracted as well”

As quoted by New York-based photographer Zack Seckler in a recent Wired article about the awe-inspiring series he created with a fresh visual perspective. His Botswana series presents the country from between 50 and 500 feet, providing a unique and captivating view of the savannah.
What began as another assignment during a Botswana visit in 2009, Seckler took tourism advice from his client to fill some downtime. It was then where he was first introduced to his first ultra-light flight over the salt flats. Seckler was hooked from there, and returned to do three additional shoots from an ultra-light and a small Cessna.

“For me it was capturing a really unique vision of our world, a beautiful landscape from a unique perspective, and framing moments that create interesting contrast between living things, whether they be animals or flora, and the earth itself.”

Tom Foerstel : Founder & President

Tom Foerstel

Founder & President

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 60’s, Tom developed a strong desire to create positive change for people and planet.

He went on to pursue his passion for art and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and worked for design firms in Southern California before moving to Boise, Idaho in the early 80’s. Foerstel Design opened its doors in 1985. Since its inception, the firm has cultivated a bold, happy, forward-looking team focussed on creating distinct and effective work on behalf of their clients.

An integral part of Tom’s philosophy is giving back to the community in which he lives — a company cornerstone that drives Foerstel’s long history of providing pro-bono services to local non-profit humanitarian and arts programs.

One of Tom’s proudest personal achievements is his ability to say Supercalifragilisticexpyalidocious backwards.
