Today's camera drones provide a unique ability for photographers to capture low altitude aerial perspectives that may never have been seen before. That's because, until now, the view of our earth from under 400 feet was just not possible given traditional aerial photography with manned aircraft. This book will help new drone pilots understand how to take full advantage of today's modern drone camera systems. It will also help existing drone pilots, without a photography background, learn the skills they need to compete in a rapidly growing industry.

Editorial Reviews

Review

I learned about Justin almost a decade ago and I got to see his photography talent from before when there were drones. Then he picked up these flying cameras and produced wonderful art in 3D space, capturing nature, events and his family from a very different perspective. Over the years I have seen Justin develop his skills, explore new ways and opportunities to create and share art, and along the way inspire others to capture moments, memories and beauty. This book represents not only Justin’s views, but his talent, his unique eye and perspective, and how he is utilizing technology to bring a camera to new heights. Romeo Durscher of DJI -Leading drone manufacturer with over 70% of the market share

About the Author

A native of San Antonio, Justin pursued professional photography in 1999 and for two decades taught photography in San Antonio through a community education program. After a life-long fascination with aviation, Justin earned his wings as an instrument-rated Private Pilot at historic Stinson Field. In 2014, Justin bought his first drone and quickly saw his two passions merge - the introduction of a small, flying camera system! Since then, Justin's passion for drones (or small UAS - Unmanned Aerial Systems) gave him an opportunity to quickly become an industry expert with speaking engagements at Interdrone, several PPA conventions, national webinars with companies like Drone Deploy & Skyward. He also speaks at many conservation events where his pro bono work to use drones for conservation has provided an opportunity to work with the National Audubon Society and several South Texas nature preserves. Justin worked closely with PPA to develop a photography certification for drone photographers and in April 2017 became the nation's first Certified Drone Photographer.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Growing up on the south side of San Antonio, Texas near historic Stinson Field changed me. As a child, hearing the low hum of the Goodyear blimp hovering over my house at night and seeing it light up the night sky with its colorful graphics created fascination and a love in me for flying things. I learned to fly airplanes at Stinson Field decades later.

I also grew up with a camera in my hand - taking images of epic family road trips to places like Yosemite, the Rocky Mountains and the Blue Ridge. Photography and aviation were my two great passions.

So you can imagine, then, that I had no choice but to love camera drones. A flying camera! My two passions merged as I flew my first camera drones back in 2014. I fell in love with low altitude aerial photography. I was seeing very familiar places from a whole new perspective.

Since then, I've worked hard to share this passion of drones with anyone that would listen - from being a speaker at Interdrone to doing presentations at local libraries, rotary clubs and photography conventions across the country. It's a journey I am so excited to be on and an experience I am so thrilled to share with YOU my readers!

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect guide!
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2019

I purchased two of these guides, one for a nephew just starting out with his drone who was in need of clear, concise, basic instruction and advice. He let us know how excited he was to receive it, how helpful it is, and that he plans to recommend it to his friends. The second copy I purchased for myself. Having lived in San Antonio for 20 years we have great affection for the city and it's environs. The photography is beautiful, we're seeing images of SA like we have never seen before. The unique imagery and perspective drones offer is well illustrated here. We don't own a drone but should that change this guide is what I will start with as having read through it I feel it's something even I can manage which I am pleasantly surprised by. It is the perfect guide!

If you want to learn the fundamentals of drone photography from a seasoned professional, then this book is a good place to start. It combines practical, experienced based instruction alongside beautiful imagery demonstrating each concept presented. In addition to the tutorials, the author has created a visually stunning guidebook showcasing the beautiful south Texas region while emphasizing the importance of responsible commercial drone operation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good points, but overall ok
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2020

The book makes some good points and advice about photography and drone flying and planning. However, there was a lot of time spent on ... Out of context photos that didn't emphasize the photos that was supposed to be made. Sort of wish the book was more devided into advice and photography descriptions than the way it was edited together. Very light read otherwise.

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2020
This book is easy to read and easy to understand. I liked how the author broke down segments of drone photography and how he made it where it doesn’t seem so difficult to operate the drone. I loved the resources he added and the visuals helped us to understand arm aerial photography better. Great book if you are a drone person or thinking of getting a drone. Good job!

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019
The best teacher is someone who is both curious and passionate about the subject. Moore exhibits both in his book, and clearly demonstrates the countless hours he has invested in becoming a drone photography expert. An added bonus is seeing highlights from the Texas Hill Country portrayed from the air!

I was rather disappointed. I didn’t learn much and was surprised that for a publisher of photography books, the images throughout the book were very average.
