About Daniel Hunter

Broadcast precision.
Local expertise.

Daniel Hunter is a CASA-certified drone pilot, wildlife cinematographer, and conservation biologist based in Melbourne. With over a decade of field experience across four continents, he brings the same visual discipline and operational rigour to a suburban property listing as he does to a BBC Natural History production.

Applied Aerial & Media was founded to give construction, real estate, and environmental clients access to broadcast-quality aerial imaging without the broadcast-sized budget.
