Inside the UK's most remote community as photographer flies in camera via drone

A photographer has captured mages of the UK's most remote community, and its residents, which can only be accessed by boat or on a two-day hike on foot through the hills. Matt Porteous used a state-of-the-art phone and a drone to take pictures in Knoydart, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.

Matt, who most recently snapped Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Christmas card, said: “This was the most challenging test because I've never before led a portrait session using a smartphone, much less one that is soaring through the air while I'm hundreds of miles away. However, the OnePlus 11 boasts an outstanding camera system that made it possible for me to capture DSLR quality images, even under challenging circumstances – incredible.

"The residents of Knoydart have incredible stories to tell – from Jayne Eddie, the Western Isle Cruises Skipper, to Finlay Greig the local Ranger – and I’m honoured to have been able to help share a visual snapshot of their way of life.”
