As an industry and as a hobby, the numbers indicate that drone flying and drone photography are still primarily the domain of men, but sustaining this disparity is ridiculous and it should and will change. Our two guests today are part of bringing about that change, and they do so by being good at their craft, by spreading the joy of flying, and teaching drone operation and photography to women and girls.
Our first guest today is an Emmy Award-winning camerawoman for CBS News and F.A.A. licensed drone pilot

Ray Collinsโs portraits of waves are hard to describe because you donโt want to describe them. Like the wave itself, the photographic abstraction refuses words; indescribable and amorphous become unique and powerful in his hands.

We have been looking forward to speaking with Collins for a while, and are very pleased to present our conversation with him on this weekโs episode of the

Flying in directly from a post-Oscar party in Hollywood, Greg Gorman joined us for a conversation at the 2020 Depth of Field Photo Conference this February, where he was the keynote speaker. Given all that has happened since, it seems like a long time ago, but this is the type of chat we wish would have just kept going, so enjoyable was Gorman and his tales of Hollywood then and now.
Still in demand by A-listers, Gormanโs work reaches
