10 inspiring Australian drone photographers you should start following as well

We’re road trippin’ on the East Coast of Australia and taking a lot of cool drone pictures (posting them soon!). Therefor I figured it was a good time to take a look at some inspiring Australian drone photographers:

@saltywings

One of the most famous Australian drone photographers I suppose. This guy has a serious portfolio of beautiful abstract drone shots, mostly from Western Australia.

@tomnoske

A great photographer from Melbourne I’ve been following for a long time now. He’s been an enormous inspiration for me when I first started. Thx Tom ? He’s kind of a mix between a landscape drone photographer and a fantasy creator. Just have a look at the below shot to know what I mean ??

@merrwatson

A Western Australian account I’ve been following since I started as well, is Merr Watson. She has perfected the art of topdown beaches, waves and rocks! Her feed is so consistent. Therefor, I used it as a best practice example in my Instagram growth post ?.

I found her account through Merr Watson. They seem to be traveling together all the time. There’s a very genuine and friendly woman behind the controller! Loved Sandrine’s stories from Madagascar ?.

I’ve only discovered this amazing blue account recently, but what a beauty! Such pureness in his shots. Phil seems to be an expert in finding sharks as well ? #jealous

@benmack_

The most recent addition to my personal following-list is Ben. What sets Ben apart, are his consistent soft pastel colors. You’ll find a lot of beautiful shots from the East Coast and Tasmania!

Last, but not least is Jack. His orange-and-teal look is very appealing. His colors are so vibrant and brushed ?. It’s a style I particularly like a lot. Keep it up man, you’re going places ?
