L & L Contractors LLC

Dear Hiring Team,

I am writing to express my interest as a Commercial Drone Operator with L&L Contractors.  With a background spanning over 9 years in digital portraiture and landscape art, coupled with extensive experience in video editing and cinematography, I am excited about the opportunity to leverage my creative skills and technical expertise in a dynamic industry such as commercial drone operations.

In my art endeavors, I have honed my eye for detail, composition, and lighting—principles that are equally crucial in aerial photography and videography. My proficiency in utilizing the rule of thirds, golden ratio, and grids to create visually compelling compositions aligns seamlessly with the precision required in capturing construction projects from above. Whether framing shots to highlight architectural details or capturing the grandeur of natural landscapes, I understand the importance of balance, form, and light in visual storytelling.

One of my notable projects involved creating a triptych featuring elements of Memphis architecture, demonstrating my ability to incorporate personal elements and evoke sentimentality through art. This experience has equipped me with the skill to capture the essence of structures and spaces, a valuable asset in documenting construction progress or surveying sites using drone technology.

Additionally, my familiarity with video editing software such as Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, including AI-enhanced tools, has equipped me with the efficiency and precision required for post-production work in drone footage. I am adept at color grading, texture enhancement, and shadow manipulation to convey mood and enhance visual storytelling, skills that are directly transferable to editing aerial footage for construction projects.

Furthermore, my experience in creating a comedy film with a strong emphasis on visual design and symmetry, inspired by the style of renowned filmmaker Wes Anderson, showcases my ability to infuse creativity and humor into visual narratives. This creative approach could bring a fresh perspective to showcasing construction projects and communicating key messages effectively through aerial imagery.

I am eager to bring my artistic vision, technical expertise, and passion for storytelling to L & L Contractors as a Commercial Drone Operator. I am confident that my diverse skill set and creative background will contribute to the innovative and high-quality aerial services your company provides.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my experiences align with the needs of your team. Please find some samples of my digital art and video production below for your review.

Warm regards,

Jason
