About this event

Five days from first flight to a finished portfolio, with a field session every afternoon. Drones are provided, or bring your own.

Aerial Photography Bootcamp is small on purpose. We keep the group size down so everyone gets time with an instructor, and we build the session around the questions people actually bring.

Expect short demonstrations, plenty of doing, and a printed take-home sheet so nothing gets lost after you leave. Beginners are welcome, and so are people who have been at this for years.

Bring a laptop or phone you are comfortable with. Loaner laptops are available if you let us know ahead of time.

Highlights

Small group
Room for about a dozen people, so everyone gets hands-on help.
Hands-on practice
Work on your own project, not a canned exercise.
Take-home notes
A one-page checklist to keep the momentum going.
