He also documents landscapes from above. The pics are gorgeous, but hard to shoot. Marom allegedly melted one of his drones while flying it over an erupting volcano in Iceland. Talk about dedication!
2 Tobias Hägg (@AirPixels): Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Hägg was profiled in the book Masters of Drone Photography (2018) by marine biologist and filmmaker Fergus Kennedy. His images lay sharp focus on natural colours and depth, so they resemble abstract gets symmetry well, in art, or watercolours. He natural landscapes and man-made townships. Pictures look larger than life, even on a tiny phone screen.
3 Mike Bishop (@MikeBishop.TV):
Bishop, from Los Angeles, creates optical illusions of the natural world that make you question reality. Under one particularly striking photograph, taken in Iceland, giant grey arches of glacial meltwater flow into the ocean. He asks if the image is of a tree of life - it could well be. In another, a dead tree stands in the middle of the desolate clay pan of Deadvlei in Namibia, resembling a hand pointing to the sky. It's photography meets sorcery.
