This mini branding session features someone I met completely by chance.... and now consider a friend...José Maldonado of Mal-Drone-Ado,
a drone business based in Brandenburg, Kentucky. José is an Army veteran and one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet.
We first met at the Fuller Center House Gala this past summer that benefits the local chapter of Fuller Center for Housing. Check them out HERE.
I had just bought a drone a week earlier and still had no idea how to use it. José came up, said hi, and started talking like we’d known each other forever.
If you ever catch me out in public, just know I have some social anxiety... I’m not being rude, I’m probably just hyper-focused or nervous.
Unless I have my camera, then I’m in work mode. But even with my camera, I was in full gala-coverage mode that night, so I was grateful he started the conversation.
For this branding session, I followed José to a real estate shoot in Doe Valley for local Realtor Kelly Walz (check her fb out here).
Watching him work was SO cool...steady flights, perfect landings, smooth fly-ins, and the confidence that comes from someone who truly knows their craft.
We captured behind-the-scenes moments, drone takeoffs, the controller interface, and José’s workflow from start to finish.
If you need aerial photos or video in Meade County
José is local, skilled, and for hire. You can find him here:

Thanks, José, for letting me photograph you doing what you love ....and for being such a genuinely good human.
