FAQ

Are you a licensed drone pilot?

Yes, I hold a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification (#4431178).

Are you insured for drone operations?

Yes, I carry a $1M Aircraft and Commercial General Aviation Liability Insurance policy that is entirely separate from the policy I carry for my traditional photography operations.

What drones do you fly?

DJI Air 3 & DJI Air 2S
I have owned and enjoyed flying systems from Autel and Skydio.

Do you travel for photoshoots?

Absolutely! I've traveled extensively for my work and will be happy to pack my bags for your project.

Can you fly at night?

Yes.

In December 2020, I was granted a 14 CFR § 107.29—Daylight operation waiver by the FAA.

Because each flight is unique and comes with its own set of safety challenges, not every nighttime flight will be possible, but I will work with you to create the content you need.

What information do you need to fly a drone for my project?

To get started, the specifics regarding the project will be needed - date, location, content, budget, etc.

As part of the initial conversation about your project, I'll ask questions that will allow me to determine if a drone would be suitable.

Please understand not every location can be flown with a drone. Proximity to airports, airspace classifications, temporary flight restrictions, and weather can all impact if and when a
drone flight can occur. Also, a planned flight may need to be rescheduled or canceled due to the types of issues described above.

I don't see prices on your website. Can I get a quote?

The majority of the work I do is based on specific client needs. I will be happy to prepare an estimate for you. I'll need some information to get started and may ask a few more questions in order to iron out specific details. Here's a list of some basic information to get us started:
• What is the date and location of your shoot?
• What type of aerial work do you need? Can you provide a brief description of the project?
• How will you be using the images? (Marketing, Communications, Advertisements, Social Media campaigns, etc.)

What options do I have if a drone can’t be flown at my location?

Sometimes a drone is the easiest way to create photos and videos, but when a drone isn't possible, there are other options. Let's discuss what your project and find the best way to create the content you need.
