Simple, professional, and affordable drone photography and videography. Real estate, roof inspections, commercial property. No production crew, no upselling, no nonsense.
Establishing aerial perspectives for residential listings. Clean, well-composed shots that show property context, streetscape, and surroundings.
These images are from a residential property in Sydney. They show how effective a low-cost drone inspection can be at detecting issues, giving you photos to seek out quotes from multiple tradespeople, rather than just trusting the one bloke who climbed up there, took pictures, and told you what he wanted to tell you.
Aerial coverage for commercial listings, strata, and development sites. Useful for showing access, footprint, and surrounding infrastructure.
Wide-angle locality shots showing neighbourhood context, streetscapes, and surrounding areas. Great for real estate listings that want to sell the location as much as the property.
Roads, bridges, utilities, and civic infrastructure from above. Useful for councils, developers, and anyone who needs to document or showcase built environment at scale.
Sydney from above: waterways, parks, coastline, and the kind of shot that looks great on a website or a wall. No beach photos yet - just wait until next summer!
A commercial client needed 12 high-resolution stills of a property on Larkin St, Camperdown, within 24 hours. The site sat in restricted low-ceiling airspace near the Sydney CBD, making the compact sub-250g DJI Mini 4K the right tool. Before flying, I produced annotated Google Earth planning screenshots so the client could review and approve compositions in advance, including proposed angles, building orientations, and expected skyline visibility. The flight went ahead the following morning in clear conditions. Below: planning screenshots alongside the actual results.

dronesforhire.com.au βI started drone photography because I genuinely enjoy capturing Sydney from above, and recently started helping local people do the same without the usual hassle. I fly a few times a week; the rest of the time you'll find me running around a hospital learning medicine, teaching kids at the local public school about debating and public speaking, or tutoring for the HSC.
I focus on being approachable, reliable, and easy to work with. No middlemen, no account managers, no automated quote systems. Just an email to me directly.
If you're looking for a five-person production crew and top-of-the-line post-production, you're in the wrong place. If you're looking for one decently qualified, rather enthusiastic guy with a drone at non-ripoff prices, you're in exactly the right place.
DJI Mini 4K, compact, ideal for fast local jobs around Ryde and Inner Sydney, including restricted airspace. Shoots auto 4K, 4:3, J+RAW, AEB mode. Modified EV and WB on request. Small drone, good results.
The difference between me and a "company" is that they're trying to make a living off of you, while I just want to fund next Friday night and build my skills flying for fun.
