About Me
I am Crispin McKie, a certified Drone Pilot licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), operating from the picturesque town of Ilkley in Yorkshire. I stand as one of the select few drone operators in the United Kingdom who have attained some of the highest qualifications and safety rating, enabling me to conduct flights within just 5 meters (16 feet) of uninvolved individuals, vehicles, and structures, giving me freedom to collect footage that other pilots cannot. This distinction stems from my extensive five-years in the field.My current aerial platform of choice is the DJI Air 3, one DJI's newest and most powerful aerial cameras, with which I personally oversee all aspects of photography, from capturing images to the meticulous editing process. I take immense pride in my work and have had the privilege of collaborating with a multitude of organisations such as ITV, Moorlands Trust, Penny Lane Entertainment, Dale Eddison Estate Agents, and a diverse portfolio of other clients.Feel free to reach out for any of your aerial photography needs, whether commercial or artistic.
