We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Julian LeDoux. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Julian below.

Alright, Julian thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

After I studied to get my commercial pilots license, I went on YouTube and other socials to learn different techniques and tips on flying my drone. I could have gained more skill if I was extra diligent about going out and flying because ultimately just playing around with the drone was the only way to truly get good. Persistence and good spatial awareness were key factors in my learning and leveling up my skill game when it came to controlling my drone. Having to wait for great weather conditions will always be a barrier to not being able to fly and practice. I do use a drone simulator, and it helps, but it is by no means a replacement for actually going outside and flying.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I went to school for architecture and got my bachelor’s about four years ago. Ever since then I’ve been working at the same firm where I do quite a bit. Last year in January they came to me and asked if I wanted to fly the drone since the person who did it left. My eyes lit up and didn’t hesitate to take them up on their offer. I studied for the commercial pilot’s license over a month and then I was ready to fly!

I started my business Dream Drones because there weren’t enough people providing aerial camera work. A lot of the gigs I’ve done, if I hadn’t been there, no one would’ve provided that service. I offer aerial photography and videography for private events, real estate, and commercial projects. What sets me apart from many other drone pilots is my architectural background. Understanding building layouts and knowing what people want to see, both inside and out, in any great video or picture is key to giving any client an exceptional experience.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

Doing what I love while also providing real value for my clients is by far the most rewarding aspect of being a creative.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

Building my business in a way where I have the chance to create opportunities for other drone pilots, photographers, and creatives in this space is my ultimate mission because there’s just nothing else like getting to do what you love.
