Julio Aguilar Jr. is an aerial photographer/videographer. His journey in the photography/videography world began back in the year 2000, where he worked as a production assistant and wildlife consultant for numerous networks and production crews. At the time, he worked as an exotic animal handler and took up videography as a hobby filming stock footage of the Florida Everglades and its wildlife. Much of his stock footage was posted on You Tube (the earlier days) and interest began to grow from companies such as National Geographic which licenses much of its wildlife and b roll footage from videographers.
In 2017, Julio received a second hand drone from a family member who had difficulty getting it to work and fly properly. After some rewiring and practice, he continued to work on perfecting flying techniques. He continued to upgrade drones until his wife purchased him his first commercial, high-end drone equipped with a high-resolution camera. In 2018, he acquired his 14 CFR Part 107 (drone certification) and began forming relationships with local realtors. After some time, he began receiving requests to photograph specific locations that customers would print.
From there he knew that his future was in the drone world.
