Description: Drones have become more available and affordable than ever, so there’s no reason to put off adding aerial photography into your photographic toolbox. Flying a drone camera can give new life to stale subjects by showing the world from a bird’s eye view. As an FAA-certified commercial drone pilot, I will teach you what you need to know about choosing the right quadcopter for your photography and videography needs, the basics of how to operate and fly a drone safely and legally, and the specific considerations surrounding the making of images and moving pictures from the air.
