I am experienced in the use of Premiere Pro, photoshop, lightroom, and drone flying (DJI Mavic pro and similar), I can deliver efficient footage organization and edit pre-recorded footage or direct and film raw footage to its best result. Effective in communication skills, with a strong knowledge of colour correction and colour grading, a sharp eye for details, editing speed, camera setting, and gimbal handling, I also worked as a freelance videographer for more than 4 years with 2 thousand plus followers on my Instagram page, which I believe gave me the experience I have today to be the perfect fit for your project.
