Reuben Wu spent nearly two years putting together the sponsorship deals that would enable him and a small team to travel to northern Chile to shoot this solar eclipse on July 2, 2019. Photographer Reuben Wu and his team met up in Santiago, Chile, at the beginning of their journey to capture the eclipse. Cody Cobb looks up at the stars in the Atacama Desert during a test shoot for the LumeCube drone light. Wu and his team rented an overland-rig all-terrain vehicle for their trip to their base camp in Chile. A few hours prior to the eclipse, the crew set up for the photography shoot at the top of a hill Wu had scouted out using satellite imagery. Cody Cobb, Matt Lief Anderson, and Reuben Wu watch the total eclipse on a hill overlooking La Higuera, Chile. Reuben Wu and a five-person team spent two years planning to shoot this near-horizon solar eclipse in northern Chile on July 2, 2019. Captured just after totality, this image of the solar eclipse displays the diamond ring effect, in which beads of sunlight can be seen peaking out behind the moon. After shooting the eclipse, the crew returned to their base camp in the hills above the town of La Higuera.
