Meet the Photographer
“Late in 2014 I became very interested in aerial photography & videography.”
“Eventually in February 2015 I purchased a drone though and have not looked back since! I am now addicted to capturing, creating and sharing the incredible scenery I am lucky enough to encounter. The videos I have created are now in excess of 250 million views. I have been lucky to be interviewed and featured by prominent media outlets and publications including The Huffington Post, Sydney Morning Herald, Sunrise on Channel 7, The BBC, Weekend Sunrise, Today Tonight, BBC Earth, The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Times, WSL &WA Today.”
