Sand DUNE Photoshoot + Drone Shoot

Martin Wong ยท

Key takeaways

  • Back to the dunes. Flowy dress shots (from 0:00).
  • Close to the city. 20 minutes and all sand (from 1:00).
  • Filters for bright sun. Variable ND to darken, CPL for contrast (from 2:00).
  • Direct from far away. Intercoms for drone shots (from 3:00).

I got to return to the sand dunes to do some photos again with @DanielleDeNicola, and this time I brought my drone with me!
