Let’s just start by saying drones are fun – they are fun to own and they are fun to fly.

But do they have a practical use?

More and more, drones, or remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) are being utilised in myriad of industries for a variety of tasks.

When I started this photographic journey, I decided to focus mainly on the resources sector and other heavy industries. It’s an area I am comfortable in and one I enjoy. But it’s time to add another string to the bow.

Have you ever wondered how photographers manage to get the light to fall on one area of an image and not another? Or how they can light three people in different areas of the image without lighting the whole scene.

Have you ever thought about how you got to where you are and the path you took? We all take different paths for different reasons, but hopefully you end up where you want to be. This is how I got to where I am now.
