About Me

Hi, I’m Jake,

I’m a CAA-authorised drone pilot specialising in capturing high-definition aerial content in complex, hard-to-access environments, including Central London airspace, Westminster, Canary Wharf.

I’m passionate about creating breathtaking visuals and high-quality data across industries including advertising, PR, cultural events, construction, architecture, housing, news and broadcast.

As a UAV pilot with a background in post-production and extensive experience working with brands, I bring a valuable perspective to every drone shoot, capturing footage that’s not only visually striking, but genuinely useful in the edit and aligned with the final creative.

I regularly collaborate with producers, creative directors, and editorial teams to build video libraries that bring their projects to life — full of energy, character, and unique perspectives that helps audiences connect.

You can read about a case study of my on-location drone workflow here:
Definition Magazine Feature for Samsung.

I'm also featured in the Top 9 London Drone Pilots on Wedio.com.
