HEY THERE! I’m Jose, a Virginia-based self-taught aerial photographer with a passion for capturing the world from above. It all started after my time in the Marine Corps, where I learned the value of perspective—not just in leadership and discipline but in understanding people. It humbled me, reminding me that every person has their own story worth telling.

For me, drone photography became my way of capturing stories from above, where landscapes write words, and sunsets remind me that I should probably land my drone before it gets dark. This curiosity led me to building a portfolio that showcases my photos.

Originally from the flatlands of Indiana, I now call Virginia home while studying at the University of Virginia and preparing for law school. But when I’m not flying my drone, I’m either training for my next marathon, diving into a good book, or on an endless hunt for the best pizza in town. (Though let’s be honest—Domino’s still holds an unfair advantage.)

Join me as I take things to new heights—one flight, one shot, and one adventure at a time!
