Kia ora!

I’m an experienced CAA-certified drone pilot and aerial cinematographer based in Wellington, New Zealand (Aotearoa), offering professional drone photography and videography drone services across New Zealand and internationally.

​

Using cutting-edge drone technology, including the DJI Inspire 3 Cine 8K and DJI Mavic 3 Cine, I deliver high-quality aerial footage and photography tailored to your project’s creative and technical needs.

​

As a Director of Photography with over 16 years of experience in film, television, and commercial photography, I combine cinematic expertise with advanced drone operations. I hold a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Part 102 certification, allowing me to work closely with Air Traffic Control and aerodrome administrators to ensure all flights are safe, legal, and compliant.

​

Safety and professionalism are at the core of my work. I maintain a comprehensive drone safety management plan, conduct routine equipment checks, and hold specialized drone liability insurance for peace of mind on every project.

​

Operating under my production company, Clockwork Creative Productions (CAA Part 102 Unmanned Aircraft Operators Certificate), I’m available for:

​

• Aerial cinematography and photography

• Drone filming for film, TV, and advertising

• Event and landscape aerial footage

​

If you’re looking for a skilled drone operator in Wellington or anywhere in New Zealand, I’d love to help you capture breathtaking aerial stills or cinematic footage. Get in touch today to discuss your project.
