Professional Profile
I work across aerial surveying, drone mapping, construction progress capture, video production and technical visual design. I run Sky Filming, providing professional drone services for construction, infrastructure, property and creative projects.
My work combines practical site experience with technical understanding of drone systems, mapping workflows, video production and visual presentation. I have long-term experience with aerial filming, enterprise drone operations, photogrammetry, mapping outputs and construction-site documentation.
Drone and Mapping Experience
Aerial Survey and Site Documentation
Through Sky Filming, I provide aerial survey and visual documentation services for construction and infrastructure projects. Recent work includes regular construction-site mapping, stockpile and storage-yard capture, and drone-based survey support using enterprise mapping tools.
Technical Mapping Workflows
I have experience with DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK, NTRIP correction services, DroneDeploy workflows, nadir and oblique capture, ground control points, LAS/LAZ outputs, OSGB coordinate requirements and construction-focused deliverables.

Video and Creative Production
I have practical experience in video and image production, including aerial filming, camera operation, editing and file preparation. I work with professional video equipment and post-production tools, including Panasonic professional camcorders and DaVinci Resolve.
I also create technical artwork and commercial design content, with a focus on historic vehicles, aircraft, railways, industrial subjects and clean diagram-based presentation. This includes product listing content, titles, descriptions and keyword optimisation for online marketplaces.
Business Background
I operate as a sole trader under Sky Filming, based in York. My work has included regular construction-site drone services, survey support, aerial photography and technical visual production.
I manage the full workflow from client brief to capture, processing, delivery, invoicing and ongoing support. I am comfortable working independently, solving technical problems on site and adapting workflows to client requirements.
