Hi, I’m Curtis. Owner of Ascend Drone & Media Production. Growing up my time was divided between the midwest and east-coast, having an equal love for both the mountains and the sea. I was never at a loss for beautiful subjects to photograph. Especially true now that I’m living in and serving the Hudson Valley area!

I’m a licensed commercial drone pilot, photographer and video editor. I specialize in Construction progress and Real Estate, but am always glad to work on new photography and cinematography projects. Check out the individual pages under services for more details.

Last year I decided to turn my pastime into something purposeful. One of my favorite quotes "If the Craftsman has done his job, you will see his love for his work in the piece." So my goal isn’t just to fulfill contracts, but to walk away from each project knowing I’ve done all I could to craft something both myself and the client can be proud of!
