HEY! I’m Jose, a Virginia-based self-taught aerial photographer with a passion for capturing the world with a drone. It began after my time in the Marine Corps, where I learned the value of discipline and the importance of understanding people. This humbled me and reminded me that every person has a story worth telling.

For me, drone photography became my way of writing stories where landscapes create words, and sunsets remind me that I should probably land my drone before it gets dark. This curiosity led me to build a portfolio that showcases my original 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, I’m either training for my next ultra marathon (have completed three so far), 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.)

Follow along as I keep exploring—one flight, one story at a time.
