The drones are taking Instagram and these accounts prove it

Example of the latest technological revolution, a disruptive work tool, threat in the airspace or even a Christmas toy.The drones have conquered each and every one of the spaces that have been proposed.Accompany Lady Gaga in In the middle of the Super Bowl to distribute Amazon packages, drones have also become one of the most mediatic devices of the past few years.


But if there is a universe that they have conquered, that is that of photography.From its tender beginnings, the camera has been a fundamental piece between rotor and rotor.Now, as technology improves, consolidated photographers and new talents have joined the drone photography , a trend that continues to grow.And the proof is, of course, on Instagram.

With more than 170,000 followers, this Instagram profile wants to be the great curator of social network drone content.Photographers from around the world upload their photos taken from drones with the #DroneOfTheDay tag, waiting for profile administrators to include them, however, they are quite selective, and at the moment there are just over 1,000 published images.


Before the avalanche of requests, they ensure through their own profile, they have created an open group on Facebook where everyone can upload their photos.Sure, the results are much less select.

DJI, THE BRANDS ARE ALSO HERE

That brands are committed to social networks is not new. Some of the largest manufacturers of drones and cameras for these aircraft are on Instagram , but with different results.The ones that have best been assembled are those of DJI, manufacturer of the popular Phantom model, with more than 770,000 followers.Its profile is a great exhibition of images taken with their models and, incidentally, a small advertising showcase.


Other manufacturers, such as Parrot, have not achieved so much success, and some, such as GoPro and its more than 12 million followers, cannot be said to owe everything precisely to drones.


Dirka, the photographers sign up

With its more than 300,000 followers, the profile of the photographer Dirk Dallas serves to illustrate that Instagram also has room for professionals.Founder of From Where I Drone, a website Looking to inspire and give film and photography tips with drones, this Californian uses his unmanned aircraft to capture the "majesty of nature and the hidden wonders of the world."

Dorosha, drones and #foodporn

Ok, this is not a concrete profile, but a Japanese trend that shows how drones are breaking down barriers and conquering some of the most classic corners of Instagram like the hashtag #foodporn , which groups more than 120 million food photographs.


Dorosha is a mix between drone, dorodo (soup or cream in Japanese) and shashin (photo in the Japanese country).Either by straining a drone in the restaurant or simulating the air effect hanging from the lamp, fans of the Dorosha trend is dedicated to taking zenith plans, or almost, of your favorite ramen dishes.


Dronebois, inspired by infrastructures

Like selfies and photos of Asian food have been affected by the drone revolution, the sectors of more technical photography also do their Pinitos on Instagram.This is the case of Dronebois, a company that brings together a hundred pilots and operators in the United States specialized in energy infrastructure inspection, data collection or mining, among other sectors.


Between work and work, they also take time for their more artistic side.Bridges between the mist, winding roads, high tension towers or impossible skyscrapers fill your Instagram profile.


Waterproject, the scientific view

The personal project of photographer Seth Willingham, Waterproject, shows on Instagram a different look at aquatic ecosystems from the air.In their space they have room from the emigration of gray whales to surfers that saturate the California coast.


The independence of Dronestagram

Inspired by Instagram, and despite having its own profile on the platform, Dronestagram has become the main social network dedicated to photographers and drone operators .The web, of French origin, already has more than 35,000 active members around the globe that upload and share images through its network.


Since its launch in 2014, in addition to providing drone photography with its own gallery, the platform has sought to make a map of the earth in bird's eye view with the collaboration of all users.Therefore, all images and videos must be geo-referenced.


Instagrammers droneros, social network-loving pilots, reconverted professional photographers...Everyone has joined the drone world and the Instagram universe to teach the world how it looks from the heights.Yes, while we wait for the taxis Flyers are a reality and mail packages call our window, we can put them in the shoes of these mechanical birds.
