Liam Man has redefined how drones are used in photography, not just as a tool for aerial shots but as a means of sculpting light. In this stunning image of the Angel of the North, Man expertly uses drone-mounted lights to illuminate the statue from above, creating a halo effect that adds a divine touch to the iconic landmark. This innovative technique showcases not only his mastery of light but also his ability to bring humor and creativity to his work.
The Angel of the North, already a striking piece of modern sculpture, takes on an ethereal quality in Man’s photograph, as the halo seems to crown the angel, giving it an almost celestial presence. The contrast between the statue’s dark, imposing figure and the soft, glowing light creates a visually compelling scene, elevating the monument to something otherworldly.
Man’s approach to lighting is akin to a portrait photographer shaping the light in a studio—carefully crafted and dynamic, rather than flat and predictable. This image is not just a photograph of a famous statue; it is a masterful blend of light, humor, and artistic vision, turning the Angel of the North into something more than a cultural symbol, a figure bathed in the divine glow of modern photography.
