Flying safely and legally

I'm FAA Part 107 certified and insured. Dallas-Fort Worth has busy airspace around DFW Airport, Dallas Love Field and downtown, so I plan each flight around airspace restrictions and request FAA authorization where a flight needs it. On industrial sites I follow your facility's PPE rules and plan around your production schedule.

Photos and video

I fly DJI drones and shoot both stills and 4K video. I edit and color-grade in DaVinci Resolve Studio, so aerial footage matches the ground-level work I shoot with Sony camera systems.

Related services

For ground-level stills of the same sites, see my industrial photography. Drone footage can be cut into a full production on my video production page. Finished buildings are on my architectural photography page, and executive portraits and events are on my corporate photography page.

Tell me about your site or project and I'll send scope, availability and a custom estimate.
