Hi, all. DJI Grace here. I am very honered to introduce an awesome forum user: Thedon. Here is his brief introduction from himself!

[url=https://forum.dji.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=48568&do=profile&uuid=02f353b0d3b3105bed391787d59b55f3180adf07d2244f0890][/url]

There’s a story behind every person and there are moments in life when we need to support each other in difficult situations.
We all have those broken places when you realize nothing will ever be the same.I started drone photography and videography together with my father back in 2014 when we have preordered our very first DJI Phantom 2 drone equipped with a H2-HD gimbal and a GoPro. It’s almost unbelievable how much DJI innovated in 3 years. Things were not that easy back in the day but the Phantom 2 was the best drone to learn piloting. I had almost zero experience in photography until then. In just one year together we have learnt the dos and don’ts of the aerial photography, while I managed to photograph some locations which later became award winning pieces.




Thanks to DJI, aerial photography and videography opened up a totally new era of capturing precious moments, landscapes, places which transmit emotions and feelings important for us and for others.


I won my very first international drone photography contest in 2015, after just 2 weeks my father passed away. I knew that my father wanted to continue what we have started together, the hobby became  also my work. Personally, every moment that I capture has to transmit a clear message: be it joy or sadness. Photography is the way of feeling, what we capture on film is maintained for eternity.


In 2015 Skypixel organized a series of charitable events called Perspectives by Skypixel. Two of my pictures, captured in memory for my dad,  were selected to be exhibited in Art Galleries all around the world, from “Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berlin, to Hong Kong. What really mattered to me was the fact that I could help those in need. The pictures got auctioned off to raise money for kids with cancer, to help them in their brave fight. The feeling that the path I follow can help and bring joy for others motivates and inspires  me. You can always say that you strongly care for this or that, but unless you lend a hand you don’t display your readiness to support.  


Over the years I have won several international competitions, my pictures got published in different books, newspapers all around the world. I strongly believe, that Good things happen for those who do good! The greatest achievement in life is not money or power, but the ability to encourage and support each other.

Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot for me. I made these pictures after he passed away in his memory. Will start a mini series of my work from the beginning.

I’ll look forward to seeing more of your outstanding work. Thanks for sharing this.
