Owner Matt Gunn is a commercial photographer and editor in the radio-controlled car and airplane industry, writing product reviews for magazines and websites. Matt has combined his passion for model aviation and photography into Gunn Photography Services, LLC. The idea behind starting the business was to offer affordable aerial photography to anyone needing high-resolution pictures and video from above.

Typically, the aerial photography industry has been dominated by pilots with full-sized airplanes and helicopters. Fuel and maintanence costs, pilot fees, and aircraft rental fees are often factored in when using real aircraft, and can make the request of a few simple aerial photos expensive and uneconomical. But only in the last 5 years have relatively inexpensive radio-controlled helicopters become large and stable enough to carry the weight of the heavy digital SLR cameras. With advanced automatic stabilization systems and GPS positioning, a purpose-built aerial photography helicopter can hover virtually motionless while a camera operator looks through a monitor and sees what the camera sees. This allows for extremely precise photography at a fraction of the cost.

Matt recognizes the potential of radio-controlled camera ships, and his desire to bring aerial photography to anyone wanting it is the reason behind Gunn Photography Services, LLC. Matt is a graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design, with a BFA in Digital Multimedia.
