THE PILOT

Why Thoptr exists

I spend my weekdays indoors, which is exactly why Thoptr exists.

The drone is my excuse to be outside chasing light: golden hour over a festival crowd, the geometry of farmland, the parts of a river you can't see from the bank. Ground cameras are fun. The sky is better.

Thoptr is a small aerial photo and video operation built around one idea: fly the projects worth flying, and do them well.
