PPAM Photopalooza 2024
Dronapalooza
Julio Aguilar
DATE: Sunday, October 20, 2024
TIME: 10:00 am - 4:30 pm
LOCATION: Lucozzi Portraits, 71 Faulkner Street #215, North Billerica, MA
This session will introduce members to drone regulations and compliance, apps & sites to ensure safe and legal drone flights, and intro to taking the “14 CFR Part 107,” the different photographic uses for drones, “which drone is right for me” and some hands on drone flying (experience playing video games is a plus!). I will also bring different size drones for different purposes. Trainer drones will be available for learning. Julio’s intent is to have everyone who attends get their recreational drone certificate that day.
Bio:
Julio began his journey into the drone industry back in 2017 working on a freelance basis for a DSP (drone service provider (think of UBER but for the drone world)). At the time, aerial real estate photography was just starting to take off. His uncle gave him his old “Walmart” drone that he couldn’t figure out how to fly and I took off (literally). He now flies full time for a Boston-based robotics company flying multispectral flights. Julio also owns JEAerial Solutions where he offers services such as aerial photography/videography, construction progression and mapping, to name a few. He currently owns a fleet of around 15 drones, give or take and flies on average about 30 - 40 hours a week. On the weekends, you can find him up before the sun and capturing sunrises.
