*Ethos & Mission Statement *
“A striking photograph comes to life when all ideas come together to form a decisive moment.”
“A capture doesn’t need to be complex. It can be really simple. But it needs to be planned thoroughly and executed creatively and most importantly meet the client brief just before the shutter is released. These things do not just happen. They are planned carefully. A lifetime spanning 30 years in photography has taught me all things technical. But in the main….great moments come to those who wait. I am fascinated by the waiting, the revisiting; the passing of time and the interplay of the old and the new in terms of the landscape that surrounds us.
* Operational Authorisation*
I hold an Operational Authorisation licence for unmanned aircraft. As a drone camera operator I can produce high end creative aerial stills and video captures for commercial construction and tourism projects. Recent projects include aerial photography of construction, aerial tourism, city timelapse, high resolution aerial stills of modern architecture for Grand Designs, encommpassing follow shots, rising shots and fly-through drone footage inside buildings.
With an Operational authorisation It is possible to gain access to fly in prohibited areas subject to a NSF (Non Standard Flight) application to the CAA. I have recently successfully conducted operations in metropolitan and Flight Restriction Zones with special permissions whilst liasing with Air Traffic Control during the flight.
