Breathtaking Aerial Photos by Winners of Drone Photo Awards 2022

“There are no rules for good photographs; there are only good photographs,” world-famous photographer Ansel Adams once said, and photography artists of today seem to know that better than ever before, with more and more diverse and sophisticated equipment allowing them to push the limits. Time for a new annual dose of outstanding photo beauty and inspiration with the gallery of photos by the winners of the Drone Photo Awards contest, the international competition about aerial photography and video. The contest, which is a project of Siena Awards, is dedicated to a different photographic genre deliberately separated from being compared to traditional photography. Although the competition is called Drone Awards, it’s open to aerial photography and videos whose platforms also include fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, balloons, blimps and dirigibles, rockets, kites, and parachutes.

In Drone Photo Awards 2022, the winners were defined in several theme categories: Urban, Wildlife, Sport, People, Nature, Wedding, Abstract, and Series. On their website, you can check more about the locations, shot details, and photographers, as well as see more award-winning shots and videos. And here, let’s take a look at some of those photography art pieces and get inspired!
