Aerial & drone
Cinematic aerial for property, surf, and sail.
I fly and edit cinematic drone work along the Newport Beach coast and beyond — coastal property, professional surf profiles, and regatta and yacht coverage. One operator, from the flight plan to the final grade.

The reel
Start with two minutes.
One cut across the whole library — coastline, marine, and surf. Everything else on this page is a still from the same body of work.
What I shoot
Three kinds of client, one operator.
The work splits three ways. The camera and the editing are the same; who it's for and what it has to do are not.
Agents and developers around Newport Beach and the surrounding cities — and hotels and commercial properties that fly me out to shoot.
An aerial frame shows what a ground-level photo can't: where a property sits, how it meets the water, what the approach looks like. For a lot of listings it's the single image that makes the place read as the real thing.
- Establishing stills and motion for listings and brand libraries
- Hotel, resort, and commercial-property coverage
- Travel for commercial work — domestic and international
Yacht clubs and regattas, and brokers who need a boat to look like the one worth buying.
Boats read best in motion and from above — the heel of a hull under sail, a fleet rounding a mark. I cover regatta days and broker listings so the footage matches the asking price instead of undercutting it.
- Regatta and club-event coverage from the air
- Broker listing films — a yacht under sail, not tied to the dock
- Cutdowns for the club feed and the brokerage site
Professional surfers building the social feed and the rider profile a sponsor actually reads.
The drone gets the angle that puts the wave and the surfer in one frame — the shot that earns a repost and holds up on a sponsor deck. Shot and cut vertical-first, turned around while the swell is still news.
- Session edits and cutdowns, vertical-first for social
- Rider-profile and sponsor-reel footage
- Fast turnaround on a live swell
The library
A deep library to pull from.
Years of cinematic landscape and marine footage from the Southern California coast — the reason a shoot can start from something, not from nothing.
