Managing Photography for Casinos, Drone Photography, & Embracing or Fighting Reels with @funkdrone

Today we talk with Forrest Funk (@funkdrone) who many of you will know online from his stunning and unique aerial drone photography. We find out what's involved in his position as a manager of photography for Agua Caliente Casinos in California and how his recent photography journey led him to acquire this role. We hear Forrest's view on Instagram reels and how in the beginning he was totally against them, but has now come to somewhat embrace them in the pursuit of online growth. Forrest also tells us all about how he approaches aerial photography and what he's looking for while flying in the sky. Lastly, Forrest gives us some insight into how to look more comfortable on the other side of the camera. We sometimes find that we ourselves need to be modelling apparel we're shooting or we needing to use friends as inexperienced models for gigs. He offers some advice on how to get you or the model more comfortable having your picture taken.
