Raptor began in 2016 as little more than a hobby in Chicago. Today, it provides top notch service at affordable prices. Whether your needs are for the sky or land, I can provide (and with both feet firmly placed on the ground)!

I started out obsessed with video in high school. Made little skateboard videos with friends, filmed basement rock concerts, and just anything I could think of. It was a dream of mine to be able to attach a camera to a flying vehicle and remotely film. And now we can!

After studying music business in college, I started breaking back into video and photography. In 2017, I became FAA Part 107 certified. Since then, I’ve worked with clients from Chicago, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and more by providing them with aerial photos and videos for their hotels, realty listings, performance art, etc.

In 2018, I reentered the handheld visual world working in fashion, art, cosplay, live event photography, and more. It’s most recently become my bread and butter, so do not hesitate to contact me!
