Our Story

Built on Expertise, Driven by Results

Brown's Aerial Photography was founded with a single mission: to deliver professional-grade drone data that engineering teams, contractors, and property owners can actually use. Not just impressive footage — actionable intelligence.

Richard Brown is an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot with FAA waivers to operate in controlled airspace and beyond standard limitations. He holds a Level 1 Thermography certification, bringing a level of technical expertise to thermal inspections that goes far beyond simply pointing a camera.

Based in Georgia and serving the Southeast US, Brown's Aerial Photography has completed hundreds of commercial missions — from construction site mapping and thermal roof inspections to solar panel analysis and pet search & rescue operations.
