Photographer @christian_foto Captures Landscapes from a Bird’s-Eye View

To see more from Christian, follow @christian_foto on Instagram.

Christian Rodríguez (@christian_foto) is seeing the world differently. The photojournalist from Uruguay has eyes in the sky, with a drone-mounted camera, and his young son strapped to his back. “You can see the magnitude of the landscape,” he says, describing the perspective his aerial camera gave him while on a recent trip to Ushuaia, located at the southernmost tip of Argentina. “This region has rivers, peat bogs, melting glaciers and rich flora and fauna,” he adds. “In the end, a drone is a great tool, but the most important thing is the story behind the image.”

For Christian, his most important story now is his relationship with his son, Salvador, who, at 16 months of age, is already growing up as an explorer. “I don’t want to be an absent father,” says Christian. “I want to give him beautiful memories.”

Capturing the Beauty of Singapore Through Drone Photography

To see more of Singapore from the sky, check out @idroneman on Instagram.

Chia Joel and Toh Jie Yi (@idroneman), wanted to show off the unique side of Singapore. So the couple took to the sky, flying a drone overhead to capture photos of the blue waters of the Johore Strait as well as the country’s expansive mainland buildings and monuments. “I would love for each and every one of my photos to showcase Singapore’s beauty from a different perspective,” says Chia, 24, who started using drones earlier this year. “Singapore may be just a tiny little dot on a global world map, but we have much to offer.”

Breathtaking (Drone-Powered) Views of Australia from Gabriel Scanu

To see more of Gabriel’s drone photography, follow @gabscanu on Instagram.

Gabriel Scanu (@gabscanu) can’t fly through the air to achieve his aerial views of Australia — a drone does the heavy lifting. Last year, Gabriel and his father, a cinematographer, began capturing breathtaking images of his native country from hundreds of feet in the air, opening eyes all over the world to its diversity. “Being Australian, foreigners always think of you as a farmer, riding to work on a kangaroo through the bush everyday,” he says. “Growing up in the booming city of Sydney, my experiences of Australia are far from this assumption.”

Drone photography is relatively easy, Scanu promises, even in bad weather. “I think the most appealing aspect is the adrenaline and excitement of operating such an amazing piece of technology,” he says. “It’s almost like a sport, going into it and not knowing what the outcome will be, or if you’ll even get the drone back at the end of it.”
