Looking back on this year, I've had the pleasure of meeting a ton of amazingly talented people and I am proud and grateful to have been trusted to join their crews. Here's my Aerial Cam Op Showreel featuring my pick of best shots from (mostly) 2025.

Legends teach us. But they don’t define us. Greatness shows up the moment you stop imitating and start owning who you are. Be You.
We decided to make a Nike Spec Ad for fun and it turned out incredible. Thank you to the whole squad who helped bring my vision for this video to life. Without them, it wouldn’t have turned out even half as good.

A few of my selects from last weekend at the Rocky Run in Philly. Crowds were immense!
The DJI 04 really shone here and i was able to keep the drone small and light and still have the quality of an action cam 📸
Some of my favourite shots from the @clubfr opener. It might not be as exciting as the other drones I fly, but you cannot go wrong with wide angle aerials using the Mavic 4 Pro. Super impressed with the active tracking, which kept up with these drift cars no problem.
The best basketball court in Chicago is 100% @167greenstreet
An incredible experience shooting here 🎥

Slowly ticking things off the bucket list. The scale of the Grand Canyon was difficult to really capture and the weather rarely cooperated with us (rain, hail, snow) but either way it was incredible just being there. Also featured are shots from some of the many random roadsides we stopped at on the way to Flagstaff, and also one from Sedona. Did not spend enough time in either place, but I think we’ll be back!
What a wild little trip we managed to squeeze in between weddings and before Sam’s birthday! We learned so much on this trip and had an absolute blast; despite getting caught in a little snow storm on a mountain in Flagstaff and getting soaked to the bone. Couldn’t have spent this time with a better partner!
I hope closing out 36 in this way is something you’ll always look back on fondly 🧡
PS This is also a PSA to wish Sam a happy birthday (it’s tomorrow)!🎉
First real tests with the Mavic 4 Pro on a spec shoot with @kristopheravilla . Initial impressions:
Focus tracking is really good, but not equal across all three cameras.
On first glance the image has a very different look from the mavic 3.
Stick feel is quite different from mavic 3 when in bypass mode.
Auto iso d log m hack makes for tons of dynamic range, although I haven’t compared side by side properly with other modes.
QOL upgrades are nice addition eg. better harness cover, quicker power up, pull files without powering on.
