PICTURES: Wolverhampton brothers put world in focus with dreamy drone shots
These incredible drone shots have been captured by two Black Country brothers.
‘Textures, strange patterns and colours – the crazier the better, but sometimes simplicity does work’.
There are no clear rules behind abstract photography taken from remote-controlled drones.
But these masterpieces show you need an eye, with the help of satellite software, to create a stunning picture.
These images were all taken by brothers Mike and JP Andrews, who swapped their 9-5 jobs for round-the-world photography just a year ago.
Over a drink at The Bentlands pub in Codsall the pair from Pattingham, near Wolverhampton, decided to return to Australia with a £3,000 DJI Inspire drone.
What they took not only surprised them, but created a ripple on social media with the pair receiving thousands of likes on Instagram.
Since then the pair have toured Europe twice, expanding their collection which can be seen on the website for their firm, called Abstract Aerial Art.
They plan to go to Hong Kong for a tour of Asia next.
JP, aged 32, said: “It has all the different rules to standard photography. Yes, you have to understand how the camera shutter works, but when it comes to positioning, it is very different.”
The pair use satellite imagining software to assist them in capturing shots.
The brothers, who attended Birchfield School in Albrighton, are now making money from their work.
It all began when Mike quit freelance photography and JP left behind music production to travel Australia for six months.On their return they vowed to go back, but this time capturing the scenes they visited on camera.
Mike, 30, said: “We came back home initially and we were so bored, we still had time left on our visa so we decided to go back, but this time with purpose.”
He added: “We can’t complain. We have a dream job.”
