Exorcists of darkness. Landscapes where the night is not colorless
American photographers Ruland West and Paul Eran have learned how to control light and shadow in the dark. Their joint project Highlight is a new word in astrophotography. The guys have made a drone equipped with LED lamps, and now they go out for photo hunting at night.
Photographers travel all over the world, wandering from the snow-white beaches of California to the thermal lakes of Iceland, and bring new exciting images of the night from everywhere.

"Every place we shoot is special in its own way," says Eran. "Wherever we go, we find unique colors and landscapes everywhere."
"Before we start shooting, we think over the concept of frames, decide what we want to get in the end. In order for the object that we noticed to look really cool, the moon must be at the right angle."
The guys take pictures, of course, not only with the help of a drone, but when they use this technology, they work quickly. The battery charge of the aircraft is only enough for 12 minutes. That is why everything must be calculated in advance.

"Which trip did I like the most? Iceland, of course," West recalls. — Once we spent a whole day filming this unique region and were already exhausted when we were sitting on a large boulder on the ocean coast. Suddenly Paul gasped and put his hand on my shoulder. I turned in his direction and saw something absolutely amazing. Graceful green stripes spreading across the dark sky. Northern lights! We grabbed the equipment and started taking pictures like crazy, as if we hadn't spent almost a day on our feet."
