You can create beautiful photos with light painting, but artist Frodo Álvarez takes it a step further by using drones for a light painting shoot.

Frodo has been working as a light painting photographer since 2009 and has even been earning a living from it since 2015. For this project for a football championship, he worked with the UMILES Drone Light Show team.

They programmed five drones to create the drawing in the sky above a football pitch. Frodo used an Olympus OM-D E-M1 mark II to take the photo. The ball of light was made using a Ball of Light tool.
