FAA Licensed Remote (Drone) Pilot
Photography, for many, is a passion but for me it's all about being a visual storyteller, a creator, and a discoverer of the beauty that is hiding all around us. I am a Systems Engineer by trade and if that has taught me anything it is that patience, persistence, and determination are critical to achieving success. Taking measured approaches with steady focus yield far better results and that translates directly into my work as an aerial photographer.
Whether I'm taking photographs or video for your latest real estate listing or putting together advanced construction surveys, orthomosaics, or performing a roof inspection, everything is about the art.
Anyone can point a camera and take a picture. Let me help you tell your next story.
What story does your project need to tell?
I am a happily married 30-something father of one with an interest in all aspects of aerial photography, aeronautics, and enjoying the world from an entirely different perspective. I am a fully licensed FAA Part 107 Commercial Remote Pilot. This site is dedicated to my artwork and services as an aerial photographer and videographer.
Above all else, I consider myself an artist that takes a vast interest in the Chesapeake Bay and its gorgeous marine landscapes. Much of my work to date involves Skipjacks, sunrises, and sunsets.

I do accept commissions to make artwork reproduced in a variety of mediums to include digital, print, giclée, canvas, and metal. I have produced artwork containing waterfront real estate, sailboats, and power boats.
Anyone can take a picture but many times, we need to do more than that. Much like standard photography, videography, and cinematography, aerial maintains all of the same elements but tacks on the requirements for adding the flying aspect to it. It takes a different level of skill to maintain altitude, altitude change rate, speed, flight direction, aircraft attitude (camera direction), camera pitch angle, camera zoom, white balance, shutter, and aperture settings all while keeping the the subject properly framed, maintaining light fields, smooth transition, and ultimately SAFE flight.
I also offer a multitude of photo and video post processing (editing) options that can range from custom branded overlays (great for Yacht Brokers and Real Estate Agents that want to have their photo, name, and contact information right in the video) to artistic processing.
I am not a salesman and I don’t do the high-pressure sales pitch game. We only work together if the fit is right.
