Marty Dyer, pilot and photographer
A licensed private pilot and FAA Part 107 certified drone operator, based in Grove on the shore of Grand Lake.
Grand Lake Aerials is a one-photographer studio. When you book a shoot, the person who answers the phone is the person who flies the drone, lights the rooms, edits every frame, and delivers the files.
Flying first
Marty Dyer holds a private pilot certificate and an FAA Part 107 commercial drone rating. That background changes how a shoot gets planned. Airspace, weather windows, wind, and light are treated as working conditions rather than obstacles, and every flight is planned before the drone leaves the case.
Photography second
On the ground, professional lighting and careful post production put a listing in its best light. Interiors are lit and blended so the water view and the room are both visible. Exteriors are corrected for perspective and colour. Nothing is batch processed, and every image is reviewed before it reaches an agent.
Local
Based in Grove, Oklahoma, on the shore of Grand Lake o' the Cherokees. Regular work across northeast Oklahoma, northwest Arkansas, and southwest Missouri, including Grove, Jay, Ketchum, Afton, Disney, Langley, Monkey Island, and Vinita.
