Video: See How Reuben Wu Shoots His SciFi, Drone-Lit Landscapes

Feature_2

Reuben Wu‘s science fiction-inspired, drone-lit landscape photos have exploded since we shared them last week, and now Reuben is showing off exactly how these eerie images were shot in a behind the scenes video.

The video was created in conjunction with Fiilex‚the lighting company that makes the LEDs he mounts on his drone to actually light these landscapes. In it, Reuben walks you though how he hikes out to these remote locations, sets up his 100MP PhaseOne XF, launches his 3DR Solo drone, and paints the landscape using the Fiilex AL250.
