Alberta from the air

The province looks best over farmland

Canola in full bloom, harvest dust catching the last light, a ranch tucked against the foothills: agriculture is where Alberta is most photogenic from altitude. I shoot aerial photography and video for farms, ranches, seed and equipment brands, and agri-business marketing.

Because I am a Director of Photography first, the aerials are exposed, framed, and moved to cut together with ground footage into one cohesive piece, rather than looking like drone clips dropped into an edit.

CH 01 — The Work

Aerials for growers and ag brands

I have shot agricultural aerials for national brands and family operations alike, including campaign work for Nutrien and a Case IH combine harvest shoot covered wall to wall from the air. The goal is imagery that makes the operation look like the serious, hard-working business it is.

Crop progress documentation, harvest films, brand and product campaigns, recruitment content, or a single framed hero image. Video and stills from a single flight.

CH 02 — The Difference

Flown by a DP, graded like a film

Plenty of operators can put a drone over a field. The difference shows up in the edit: whether the shot is exposed for the sky and the crop at once, whether the move settles where the eye wants it, and whether the colour matches the rest of the video.

The Mavic 4 Pro shoots 6K ALL-I at up to 1200 Mbps across three focal lengths, so one flight gives wide, mid, and long-lens coverage, all gradable to match a full production. Building a bigger piece? Start with the commercial video page.

FAQ — Agriculture aerials

Common questions

Do you shoot agricultural drone video and photography for Alberta farms and ag brands?

Yes. Alberta agriculture is one of my core aerial specialties: farms, ranches, canola and crop marketing, harvest coverage, and campaigns for seed, equipment, and agri-business brands. Recent work includes campaign aerials for Nutrien and a Case IH combine harvest shoot covered wall to wall from the air.

When is the best time to capture canola and crops from the air?

Canola in full yellow bloom is usually mid to late July in most of Alberta, and it is the single most striking crop from altitude. Harvest runs roughly late August into October depending on the crop and the season. For the cleanest light I fly in the first or last hour of daylight.

Can you cover harvest and farm equipment in action?

Yes, and it is some of my favourite work. Combines, seeders, sprayers, and grain carts all read beautifully from the air, both in top-down detail and in tracking shots that move with the machine, framed and graded like a commercial rather than a record shot.

Do you offer standalone farm drone shoots, or only full productions?

Both. Standalone agricultural drone jobs are very welcome, whether that is a single hero image of the home quarter or a full day of harvest coverage. I also fold aerials into larger commercial and branded productions.
