Aerial Imaging & Storytelling
Photographic Work
A focused cinematic reel is currently in development and will be featured here soon.I’m currently putting together a collection of reels that highlight the Carolina coast. Watch this space for new environmental and FPV footage.
Project Documentation
Scheduled aerial documentation tailored for active construction projects, providing consistent visual records from groundbreaking through completion. Flights are conducted on a recurring schedule or at key project milestones, capturing standardized site perspectives over time. Deliverables are organized and stakeholder-ready, supporting reporting, progress tracking, and long-term archival needs.
Progress flights (scheduled or milestone-based)
Standard site perspectives for accurate visual comparison
Before / During / After documentation
Stakeholder-ready reporting imagery
High-resolution archival photography
GIS Mapping & Analysis
I offer practical, reliable GIS services to help turn location-based data into clear, usable information.Whether you need a simple map, help organizing data, or light spatial analysis, I can support a wide range of project needs, from quick turnarounds to more involved problem-solving.With over 35 years of experience working with GIS systems, data models, and real-world applications, I bring a strong foundation while keeping the approach straightforward and focused on your goals.In addition to hands-on mapping and analysis, I also have experience supporting more complex data challenges, including data integration, workflow design, and scalable GIS solutions when projects require it.
Common Services
Custom maps for presentations, permits, or reports
Property and parcel mapping
Site context and proximity maps
Data cleanup and organization
Spatial analysis and overlays
GIS troubleshooting and general support
Expanded Services
For projects that go beyond basic mapping, I can also support:
Data integration across multiple sources and systems
Development of structured GIS datasets and data models
Workflow design and process improvement using GIS
Automation and repeatable data processes
Support for larger or more complex GIS and data-driven initiatives
Approach
My focus is on delivering clean, accurate results without unnecessary complexity.Whether the need is simple or more involved, I provide solutions that are practical, scalable, and easy to work with.If you have data, or even just an idea, I can help turn it into something useful and easy to understand.
About
I’m Mike, the pilot behind FlyPixelPilot.I create aerial imagery that blends visual storytelling with technical precision. My work ranges from cinematic landscape photography capturing the light, textures, and movement of the coastal Carolinas to structured aerial documentation that supports construction projects and project stakeholders.In addition to flying drones, I’m a geospatial technology professional with more than 35 years of experience working with GIS, spatial data systems, and geospatial analysis. Throughout my career I’ve designed and managed spatial data environments that support infrastructure planning, public safety operations, and complex decision-making.That background shapes the way I approach aerial imaging. Whether documenting construction progress or capturing natural landscapes, I focus on accuracy, consistency, and delivering imagery that provides both visual impact and meaningful spatial context.FlyPixelPilot reflects both sides of that perspective, creative exploration of the coastal environments that inspire me, and professional aerial imaging services that help organizations document, understand, and communicate the places where work is happening.
FAA Part 107 Certified
I’m an FAA Part 107 certified UAS pilot, and every flight is conducted in full compliance with federal regulations. I follow established procedures for airspace authorization, weather evaluation, safety planning, and equipment checks to ensure safe and professional operations.
