About Me

I an aim to capture exactly what you need.

I first picked up a camera in mid-1996 and since then, I have been passionate about photography and video-making in all its forms. Progressing from freelance (hobby) photography to professional projects, I have over 27 years of experience in film.

Drone (aerial) photography has been my main focus for over 6 years. I am a qualified and licensed drone operator, having attained my RePL and ReOC, in addition to many hours of practical and on the job experience.

My past projects include

  • assisting a state-based organisation with its routine supervision work, special events and emergency assistance;
  • assisting a national charitable organisation, shooting promotional material for one of its large fundraising events;
  • rural property and large property site identification and investigation work for various clients;
  • various drone and water-based photography within the kite surfing and foil surfing industries – amateur and professional;
  • various landscape photography along the east coast of Australia.

Coming from a building background, I have a keen eye and attention to detail which translates effectively across to drone operations. With a comprehensive understanding of building industry codes, I offer unique expertise to building and related industries, ensuring the safety of workers and equipment when assisting.

I am highly customer focused, and my key priority is to understand my client’s objectives to successfully deliver on their projects.

Benefits

The benefits of hiring a drone professional for your inspections

The use of drones improves efficiency, reduces risks to human inspectors, and provides high-quality data for better decision-making, ultimately enhancing safety protocols and preventing accidents.

01

Real Time

A live stream can be broadcasted to any device in Australia with an internet connection. Ask us about the many useful applications.

02

Cost Efficient

Conducting a visual inspection in difficult to access positions poses risks to workers and takes time for approvals, job safety permits and often involves costly access equipment.

03

Time Saving

Drones can rapidly capture various angles and perspectives, allowing for quicker and more efficient inspections. They can cover large areas or long distances in a fraction of the time it would take using traditional inspection methods.

04

Safety

Drones can rapidly capture various angles and perspectives, allowing for quicker and more efficient inspections. They can cover large areas or long distances in a fraction of the time it would take using traditional inspection methods.

05

Early Detection

Inspections can be made at greater frequencies. This increases the chances of identifying an issue at an earlier stage. Early detection allows rectification before greater deterioration takes place. The earlier the issue is identified and fixed, the lower the cost.

06

Accuracy

Accurate reconstruction with 3D digital models allows engineers to integrate into CAD and Civil 3D to start assessing the existing conditions and determine the cost of maintenance or rectification works.
