CC HERKES is a collaborative duo that creates photographic artworks interpreted from drone photography. Often with environmental themes, sometimes with introspection of the world at large and at times, quirky musings. Primarily self taught in this genre, they come from creative backgrounds in the arts and environmental design as well as hold a commercial drone license. Working together as a team when the time and opportunity allows it, they explore the Australian landscape with studio time to explore the images. hte creative process is simply driven by the drone imagery and what unfolds is never predicted nor planned.
