Overview

Ready to take your photography to new heights—literally? Join professional aerial photographer Travone Sukie for an immersive 3-hour class designed to introduce you to the world of drone photography.

This beginner-friendly workshop blends essential photography principles with hands-on drone flight training. You’ll learn how to safely operate drones, understand FAA regulations, and explore how composition, lighting, and camera settings apply to capturing dynamic aerial shots. Whether you're a curious beginner or thinking about investing in your first drone, this session is the perfect way to test the skies.

Best of all, drones will be provided—no equipment necessary. You'll walk away with a better understanding of drone systems, improved photo skills, and the confidence to start capturing your own airborne masterpieces.


  • No prior drone or photography experience required
  • Focus on recreational (non-commercial) use of consumer/professional drones
  • Topics covered: FAA compliance, drone safety, flight setup, exposure, lighting, aerial composition
  • Emphasis on storytelling through drone imagery
  • Not a flight simulator or toy drone class—focus is on real-world flight and creative application
  • Hands-on flight experience with instructor guidance
  • Students using their own drones must arrive with fully charged batteries and all necessary accessories

Limited class size ensures plenty of one-on-one instruction
