"I love my work. I love the variety, the fact that every day is different. That I get to work with so many different and amazing people, that it takes me to far flung corners of the world.

Erik Williamson wants to live in a world where 'weather days' aren't a problem, his daughter gets the volume on the TV just right for dialogue and music, all the motorbikes in the world are at his disposal, and his friends are always around for BBQs.

As a photographer, he has been applauded for his technical skill as much as his eye; nobody knows more about getting a tricky car shoot from brief to billboard.

When he is not shooting cars, (and animals, but let's be very clear we mean with his camera as he's a big softy and animal lover) you can find him with his wife and daughter or racing his bike - preferably racing his bike while his wife and daughter cheer him on.

A desire to capture stunning imagery is how Brett Price came to be. Advancing his technologies alongside the growth of drones, his aim is to consistently provide top-of-the-line technology and services.

"There is an indescribable excitement that I always feel right before every project; being on the runway, checking my gear, and getting myself prepared for the best possible outcome right before take-off. It’s exhilarating to know that every moment you capture won’t be identical to the last, even if it’s in the exact same location and knowing that you are an important part of helping somebody else tell their story. Although it can be difficult navigating into an area to get the best angle - the buzz of seeing a successful shot is one of the best feelings."
