Gabriel Scanu  – A Photographer with His Lens in the Clouds

Australian born, Gabriel Scanu is a young 22-year-old photographer whose love for photography runs in his blood. Scanu’s father, who was a cinematographer, was the key element in him becoming a photographer. He was introduced to the cinematographic world at a young age and by the age of 12, he had already learned to use a DSLR. Once he graduated from high school he was able to continue pursuing his love for photography and explore new and interesting photography concepts.

He became an iconic figure in the photography world thanks to his breathtaking aerial views of some of Australia’s famous locations, such as Mona Vale and Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Once again, it was his father who introduced him to drone photography, which the talented Gabriel took to like a bird with wings. He was mesmerized by the simplicity yet incredible results achieved by utilizing a drone for his images.
