Meet Your Drone Pilot
Hello, my name is Charles LeRette. I’m a professional photographer and FAA certified drone pilot. My services include ground-based commercial photography as well as aerial photography and drone videos for your business.Email charles@artisticaerials.com or call or text 407-279-0130 for more information. I’m based in Orlando, Florida but will travel anywhere.
There was a time, not that long ago, when if you wanted high quality photographs or videos taken above ground level you'd need a really long ladder, a cherry picker, or even a helicopter. All of that has changed very recently thanks to drones. No longer just a toy or an extremely large, noisy and expensive machine powerful enough to carry a camera, today's drones are small, light, maneuverable, and have amazing cameras mounted on gimbals that can shoot high megapixel photos and videos in places that would be extremely dangerous or impossible for a person with a camera to photograph.
I currently fly two drones for all of my aerial work. My workhorse is the DJI Air 2s with a 20 megapixel camera that shoots amazing photos and up to 5.4k resolution video. For drone mapping I fly a Phantom 4 Pro v2.0 because it has a mechanical shutter which is necessary for precise mapping. I also have a smaller DJI Mini 2 that I use primarily as a back up but which is also quite capable of producing stunning images.
The Importance of FAA Certification
Anyone who flies a drone for commercial purposes in the US must register that drone with the FAA and also receive an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. I have taken and passed the required test and am a licensed FAA drone pilot. I am also fully insured. If you're considering having an employee who is not certified to fly a drone take aerial photos or videos of your project, be aware that there can be serious fines involved if they're caught or you're asked to provide information about one of the aerial photographs on your website. Please give me a call and leave the job to a professional photographer and licensed drone pilot.
