Multi-talented photographer, director and music producer, Reuben Wu has found a way show the captivating out-of-this-world naturally eroded landscapes. The series of photographs are called “Light Storm.” Using GPS-activated drones to create a halo effect from above, the amazing formations are capable of being seen and photographed at dusk and fully nighttime. The series is part of a project for clothing brand Vollebak.
