Aerial photography and video that shows your property, project or location the way no ground-level shot can — from above, in its full setting. I'm John Martin, a Merimbula-based, CASA-licensed drone operator, and I've been flying this coast since 2017 — every headland, lake and beach between Bermagui and Eden. That local knowledge means I know where the light lands, when the tide's right, and how to frame a site so it looks its absolute best.
Every flight is conducted under CASA accreditation (ARN 1092457), with current public liability insurance and a registered aircraft. For agents, councils and businesses, that means no compliance headaches — just professional imagery, captured legally and safely, ready to use.
Real estate & property — Aerial stills and video that show the block, the boundaries, the view and the neighbourhood context buyers actually want to see.
Tourism & destination — Wide cinematic coastline footage for accommodation, operators and regional campaigns. The Sapphire Coast sells itself from the air — I help you show it.
Events — Weddings, festivals and corporate gatherings captured with a scale and atmosphere ground cameras can't reach.
Construction & development — Progress documentation, site context and marketing imagery for builders and developers.
Business & marketing — Fresh aerial perspectives of your premises, location or operation for your website and socials.
I'm not flying in from the city for the day. I live here, I shoot here, and I'll often already know your site before I arrive. That local feel for the coast — the right time of day, the right angle, the right conditions — is the difference between a usable photo and one that genuinely sells. I shoot on professional gear (Sony A1, DJI Mavic 3) and deliver edited, ready-to-publish images quickly.
