See Beyond.

I’m Danny, a freelance drone operator based in York, UK, available worldwide to deliver professional drone video and photography for film, TV, digital campaigns and commercial projects.

With over five years’ experience in video production and commercial drone operations, I’ve worked with some of Europe’s leading organisations, capturing aerial content for broadcast, web and social campaigns. My focus is to see beyond pretty landscapes by creating visually compelling work that enhances storytelling through cinematic film and high-quality aerial photography.

I am A2CoC qualified and CAA approved with public liability insurance of up to £10 million, ensuring safe, compliant, and reliable operations on every project.

Take a look at my latest showreel for 2025 and feel free to get in touch, I’d love to hear more about your project.

Film & TV

With over six years’ experience working with some of the UK’s leading broadcasters, I understand the importance of capturing aerial film and photography that is not only broadcast-ready, but integrates seamlessly alongside existing footage.

From documentaries to short-form and feature-length films, cinematic storytelling and the creation of sequence-driven content sit at the core of my work.

Digital Marketing Campaigns

Looking to showcase your business or product, or promote an upcoming event? I create a versatile bank of high-quality aerial content designed to support your story across web and social campaigns.

Alongside the ability to capture native 6K video in both portrait and landscape formats, I also deliver high-resolution aerial photography, ideal for large-scale print applications as well as digital campaigns across all major social platforms.

Using the latest professional UAV equipment, I capture real-time aerial footage of projects of all scales, improving progress visibility, enhancing safety, and reducing the need for physical site access.

From time-lapses and close-up inspections to cinematic film, this content helps project teams track timelines, identify potential issues early, and document projects efficiently from start to finish. It also provides high-quality collateral that can be shared with stakeholders, investors, or wider audiences.

The central house has a stone exterior and a rounded porch area with large windows, and a gravel yard. There are multiple other houses with similar roofing and a mix of greenery, trees, and open fields visible in the background.

Real Estate

I provide professional drone photography and video for real estate, capturing properties from their most compelling angles.

Using high-resolution imagery and smooth, cinematic footage, I highlight key features, surroundings, and the broader context of each location, helping your listings stand out, elevate marketing materials, and attract more potential buyers.

With up to 6K resolution video and 100MP imagery, I provide high-quality assets that are ideal for compliance, insurance claims, and clear client communication.
