PORTFOLIO

April, 2020

Much has been said about the effects of this pandemic on humanity. To me, this feels as if someone pulled an emergency stop lever on a runaway train of the modern civilization. I feel disoriented and uncertain, like so many others, unsure of how long the inertia will keep this beast rolling forward. On the other hand, there's an excitement about the fresh start we are being afforded. Dolphins are swimming in canals of Venice and some cities are able to see blue skies for the first time, well, ever. There's hardly an aspect of life that's left unaffected by this microscopic organism, in one way or another. Recently there's been a flood of footage of eery empty streets around the globe. #shelterinplace has become the new way for many. People are adopting, as we, humans, always do. And many, without a shelter to be placed in, have been surviving on the fringes of society for far too long. Maybe this is a good time to rethink the concept of the "roof over my head" in new terms. Therefore I begin this project: #SHELTEROUTOFPLACE

OAKLAND, CA

Wood St, Oakland

We've created a fundraising video about Mr. Trashwheel project. Karima Cherif is leading this great project to fund giving birth to a #mrtrashwheel sibling here, in Bay Area to help clean up the Bay from increasing amounts of trash being washed from the shore and dumped into the water. The project is fiscally sponsored by Independent Arts & Media organization. We are proud and honored to contribute to the great cause of keeping the Bay clean.

AltBrau - Brewing & Blending

We created this video that helped AltBrau to raise over $22K in funding via Indiegogo campaign (148% of $15K flexible goal).

A while back we did an impromptu BTS shoot for ElenaZhukova coastal session at the gorgeous, tucked away Northern California beach. Such work takes me to some of the most incredible locations to work with very talented people.

I shot and edited very unusual wedding at one gorgeous, undisclosed coastal Northern California location.

Last week I had a unique opportunity to shoot behind the scene footage for The Official 2017 Fleet Week Photo that Elena Zhukova took for yet another year. US Marines, Navy, Coastguard and Canadian Navy got together for an iconic shot at The Palace of Legion of Honor. You can see the final image on Elena's Instagram page.

Today, September 9th, 2017, marks the first anniversary of Dandelion Air flying through the skies across the nation and I'm deeply grateful for being able to turn my passion into a trade. I couldn't have done this without your support and believing in my work and I wholeheartedly thank you for that.

This is a glimpse of how I spend my working days. It was shot on @usshornetmuseum production set in collaboration with @butcherbirdstudios a month ago. There were many unexpected challenges (huge masses of metal and angry seagulls, to name a few), but the result was worth the effort. Incredible team, great pleasure to work with. Meanwhile, Dandelion keeps on floating somewhere up there... always ready to head where it's needed the most.

Meditative 4 minute journey through coastal fog in Pacifica, CA. Some complain about fogy coast, I find it fascinating and soothing. Especially from a bird's perspective.

Architecture often hides its beauty in places not many can see to appreciate. Incidentally, this 🚀 engine of a building was the very first thing I shot commercially for UC Berkeley a couple of years back, what now seems like light years. )

When you are traveling down PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY (PCH) and passing Half Moon Bay, stop by Sacrilege Brewing Company and say Hi to Joe, he'll pour you a hand-crafted cold one.

This portfolio combines pictures, video and 3D model created using a drone to convey the environment in a way no single media format is able to do. We can create one for you, whether it's a property, business, event or a product.

It was also featured on Pix4D (leading 3D modeling solution) social media.

One huge perk of doing aerial work is it gets you outside, to some of the most beautiful and serene places. One day is never the same as another. Except for post processing, but that's more like picking fruits of creativity. :)
Oceana High School is a small public high school in northern Pacifica, California. Offering an alternative college preparatory program, the school serves just over 600 students in grades nine through twelve. According to the State of California, Oceana is one of the twenty-five most diverse high schools in the state.(Wiki) In March of 2010 thieves made off with 108 just-installed solar panels, over $43K worth. Loss was covered by insurance.
Installed atop San Francisco’s largest water reservoir, the Recurrent Energy developed Sunset Reservoir project reached commercial operation in 2010. Consisting of nearly 24,000 solar panels, the project was one of the largest municipal solar arrays of its kind in the nation. The Sunset Reservoir project more than tripled San Francisco’s supply of renewable energy. The renewable, greenhouse gas-free energy from Sunset Reservoir helps power public buses, the San Francisco International Airport, health clinics, and other vital city services. (c)
The Potrero Generating Station was a natural gas and diesel burning electricity generating station. On Dec. 21, 2010, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced that the Potrero plant would cease operations by the end of the year. In a press conference announcing the closure, Newsom stated that "this is a monumental step towards cleaner air, environmental justice and our future of renewable energy and healthier communities." The plant was shut down in January 2011, and the property is being considered for redevelopment. (Wiki)
The Panoche Hills are a low mountain range in the Southern Inner California Coast Ranges System, in western Fresno County, California. They are east of the Diablo Range, on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. Wikipedia
This is a part of my ongoing project to map out Pacifica Quarry in 3D. Measurements such as area, distance and volume can be extracted from such models. I'm testing different mapping solutions, they all have pluses and minuses. More on this later.
