Training and Development

Drone use is becoming increasing popular within our modern world.

With a number of years experience in the field and a strong rapport within the drone community, I have launched a number of courses to share my knowledge with others.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT 1 YEAR COURSE

This course is designed to take an in depth look at your business, discover where you going wrong or how you can improve, and get you motivated and on the right path to grow your business into a successful one. My business has included drones since 2012 and has been a full time income for me for many years, even with almost zero advertising for commercial drone work. As you can see my website is mostly wedding photography related, so how do I do it? I want to teach you how to run your business effectively, how to properly quote for jobs and deliver professional proposals, work out the cost of doing business, network with other operators, develop your products and create engaging sales pitches, build an effective portfolio, target higher paying clients, working smarter and improving efficiency, develop your photography/video skills, practical flight scenarios, real life jobs, OSC's and much more. The year will comprise of 6 face to face meetings and 4 online meetings over a 12 month period.

The cost of this course is £1000 if paid up front by bank transfer (contact me for an invoice/bank details) or payments can be made monthly at £100x12months=£1200 via the Paypal link below

FLIGHT PLANNING FOR CONGESTED AREAS – £299

There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding the use of drones within congested areas, however I teach all my clients how it is possible to take breathtaking images whilst following all the CAA rules and regulations to the letter! Learn how to efficiently flight plan, share best practices and discuss how to overcome hurdles which commercial operators face. Showing you how it's possible to confidently approach jobs in a safe & legal manner, the course has been a huge success, with many attendees significantly increasing their income once they applied what they had learned.

PORTFOLIO BUILDING DAYS – FROM £150

It can be hard to gain relevant up-to-date content in any business so I will be running portfolio building days to share and develop your skills in a hands-on environment.

 If you are a wedding photographer, we will have actors playing the staring roles but can also have sessions with models, families, children or even pets if required. These sessions are a great way of developing your directing skills in terms of posing and setting up shots without the pressure of being a real life event. Alternatively, building a commercial portfolio can be tricky too, so I can set up a day filled with landmarks, landscapes or residential settings to allow first hand practice.

 I will then give advice on how to edit them to achieve the best results leaving you with a range of photos to use for advertising.

 Locations and dates will vary.
