A graphic world, abstract like modern art – that is our planet too. At least when you look at it from above. The photos that the British brothers JP and Mike Andrews take with their drone are captivating in their severity and clarity.
Her passion began in 2016 when she – tired and annoyed with everyday life at home – bought two one-way tickets to Australia. They left without a plan and ended up spending a year in the outback. After six months, they decided to buy a drone and take a bird's eye view of photos.
From the distance of the flying camera, the texture of the earth, its patterns, structures, symmetries and colors suddenly emerged. The brothers remember their first pictures with enthusiasm:
The more we photographed, the less we could believe what we were seeing!
This resulted in the photo project "Abstract Aerial Art". The two of them are not interested in working out what a photo represents, but rather to show "how strange and wonderful the world can look from above." They underline this by giving their photos titles that do not reveal the location. They assure that they only edit colors and contrasts in their pictures.
Since their trip to Australia, the brothers have been traveling around the world to capture its surface in abstract images. You can find the places that interest you with the help of satellite images on Google Earth. "We want to make remote parts of a country accessible that only a few get to see." And from a perspective that is unusual for humans: from the air.
There is no end in sight to the travels: "The more we discover, the clearer it becomes that we have hardly scratched the surface so far," said the brothers.
