Colourful Storm

Photographer: William Markezana (@will_tm)

French photographer William Markezana found his love for photography at a young age, and his passion only grew stronger into cityscape photography after making his first-ever drone purchase. As an aspiring software engineer, Markezana produces some of the most spectacular images with complex angles by bringing a technical aspect into drone photography, mastering the ability to determine the position, focal length, and distance of a specific shot without ever having visited the location. Simply impressive.

Minding the Gap

Photographer: Bernie Ng (@itsbernie81)

With an inherent fascination for symmetry, repetition, parallel lines, bold colours, and textures, Bernie Ng loves exploring the city in search for the best places that allow him to explore these elements and create strong compositions around it. Inspired by the works of photographers such as Peter Stewart and the late Michael Wolf, Ng makes it his mission to create some of the most unique and striking images. If you want to know more about Ng's photography style, head to his Instagram, where he often gives fascinating details behind every picture.

The White Blanket

Photographer: John Huang (@jsrpixel)

What first started as a fun, humble snapshot session, led John Huang to explore the world of drone photography and videography in the most innovative ways. Telling stories with each of his captures, Huang's urge to become anything but an ordinary photographer drove him to actively seek for tips and learn the tricks of the trade from fellow photographers. All this gained him a nomination in the 2019 Boston Drone Film Festival in the Urban category with Inversion Hong Kong. Watch the video below; it'll leave you speechless.
