I began flying drones in 2019 with the purchase of a DJI Mini 2, a hobby which soon took off as I began repeatedly being asked to undertake work for others. HD Drone Photography was born in 2020 with the purchase of second, larger drone and following the completion of multiple drone courses and recognition from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), I began undertaking work for estate agents as well as working with some iconic and historical Cornish landmarks such as Charlestown Harbour.

​

With a passion and background in IT, I love nothing more than technology. Which may explain why in 2022 the largest of my drone fleet landed on my doorstep, in the form of a DJI Matrice 30T. A drone which, with both thermal and mapping capabilities, started opening new doors. I began inspecting solar panels for both domestic and commercial customers, as well as aiding in the search for several lost animals – why is it always raining when a dog goes missing!

​

By far the highlight of my drone flying career so far, was being contacted by ITV for permission to use some of my drone footage on their Lorraine show. Footage taken while down at the Minack Theatre in May 2022, was used during the opening credits for their ‘No Butts Campaign’, raising awareness for Bowl Cancer. What they used may have only been a few seconds, but seeing my footage on TV, to me was a big achievement, and has led to me being asked to the Minack Theatre again since.

I continue to want to grow what I do, and strive to keep up with advancing technologies. I pride myself on customer service, and I enjoy visiting new areas I haven’t flown in before, and most importantly I really do love what I do. As an Oriental proverb quite aptly states, “choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
