Today we’d like to introduce you to Will Taylor.
Hi Will, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
During my final summer in college, I decided to start my own aerial photography business.
I began flying drones recreationally a few years ago, and have long had an interest in photography. I love that drones combine the artistry of both flight and photography. Aerial photography provides a unique perspective of our surroundings. It’s difficult to fully perceive and understand a space solely from the ground. Viewing events, occasions, and landscapes from the air provides a valuable perspective.
I earned my FAA Private Pilot License when I was 18 and my FAA Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA in 2021. After obtaining a business license and setting up my website, I started working at my business part-time while finishing school. I graduated from The University of Memphis in December 2021 with a BBA in Business Economics. Now that I’ve finished school, it’s full steam ahead on my business.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
While I’m just beginning my business journey, I’ve learned a lot in the first few months. My biggest challenge as a new business has been developing a broad base of clients. But, as far as the business operation, things have been smooth. I’ve enjoyed working with all of my clients on their projects.
We’ve been impressed with Memphis Drone Photography, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Memphis Drone Photography is a sole proprietorship offering high-quality aerial photography and videography in the Memphis metropolitan area. I provide aerial photography services for residential real estate, farm and rural land, private events, and sporting events.
I think that what sets my business apart from other aerial photography businesses is my transparency and flexibility. My fees are clearly stated on my website and, because I’m a sole proprietor, my customers are guaranteed personalized service.
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
I’m fortunate to have had a number of people in my life willing to offer their time, advice and support regarding my interests in aviation, photography, and business.
