About the drone light trails look
Each drone carries a warm-white LED and flies a set orbit, so its path shows up as one continuous line of light. A flash at the end of the exposure freezes the person and the face. Down low, a 24 mm lens on a tripod at f/8 takes in a wide stretch of deep blue sky and the last light along the horizon. Pale salt ground reflects a little of the glow.
Clothes, place and when to pick it
The figure wears a voluminous graphite robe-coat with a sculpted hood pushed back, wide graphite trousers, matte black boots and a thin silver collar necklace. That dark mass reads cleanly against the rings. haloshot sets your own face inside the halo from three phone photos. It suits an album cover, an event poster or a portfolio opener.
