I’ll just say that I grew up working with film cameras; loading film into canisters and developing prints in the dark room. As much as I love and respect film as an art form, I am so glad digital is here! It was too easy to lose everything with film. Digital has made the workflow of photography so much more efficient!

I own, and am most familiar with Nikon cameras. I have worked with other cameras as well, including Canon. In the end, they all function similarly, it’s just a matter of familiarizing yourself with the layout of a camera when you get your hands on it. I mostly own Sigma glass. I’ve found it to be generally very good bang for the buck glass.

In the air, I am currently shooting with a DJI Mavic 2 Pro.

A remote pilot’s license is required by the FAA to do any type of commercial work with a drone. This is something that the United States government takes very seriously. An extensive knowledge test is required.

I do have this certification, and am licensed to fly drones commercially. I am required to sit through the exam every two years to maintain this license.

I began using Adobe’s Creative Suite with CS2 back in 2006. I use Photoshop and Lightroom on a near daily basis, so I am very well versed in it. I generally run the programs on Windows, but I am also comfortable in the Mac OS environment.
