Reuben Wu’s “Field of Infinity” series transcends traditional landscape photography. Working in remote locations like Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni salt flats, Wu utilizes long exposures and custom-designed drones equipped with powerful LED lights. These drones trace geometric shapes across the night sky, leaving trails of light that dance upon the vast landscapes. The resulting images are ethereal and otherworldly, blurring the lines between reality and science fiction.
Wu’s artistic vision draws inspiration from diverse sources. Planetary exploration, chiaroscuro painting techniques, and even land art movements all influence his final compositions. The meticulous planning and execution behind each photograph add another layer of intrigue. Wu spends significant time scouting locations, meticulously crafting light paths, and enduring harsh environmental conditions to capture these fleeting moments.
