JC Media — Aerial photography
From abovethe Bay.
Aerial photography and drone cinematography around the Bay Area — captured at altitude, color-graded on the ground, delivered ready to publish.
Note from Joey
The best aerial frames aren’t about the drone — they’re about the light. I scout the location, watch the weather, and fly when the air is doing something interesting. Then I treat the footage like film: careful selects, slow color, prints worth hanging.
What I shoot
Six things that look better from the air.
