Take your Photography to New Heights - Aerial Photography with Drones
Paul Nguyen
Drones have become more available and affordable than ever, so there’s no reason to put off adding aerial photography into your photographic toolbox. Flying a drone camera can give new life to stale subjects by showing the world from a bird’s eye view. As an FAA-certified commercial drone pilot, I will teach you what you need to know about choosing the right quadcopter for your photography and videography needs, the basics of how to operate and fly a drone safely and legally, and the specific considerations surrounding the making of images and moving pictures from the air.

His images have been licensed by organizations such as the Nature Conservancy, Tamron USA, Amazing New England Artworks, and numerous local and international publications.

He turns his captured images into fine art pieces that will beautify any living or work space. He employs many advanced techniques to create his art, including extreme long exposures, low-light and night photography, and “light painting."

Paul is a favorite lecturer & judge of local camera clubs. The Boston Camera Club awarded him Judge of the Year honors for 2015-2016.
