My name is Paschalis Doumanis and I am a freelance aerial cinematographer. Flying drones started out as a hobby for me in 2017. Soon, this leisure activity turned into passion, so I began investing more in my equipment, studied video editing and color grading, and obtained my license to fly in Europe, until I had my first job offers in social events and real estate.
After two years, having realized that this is my life path, I decided to move to a more professional level and added the DJI Inspire 2 with the Zenmuse X7 to my fleet, so that I could aim higher and work in high-end productions like movies, music videos and commercials. I also studied to obtain my Part 107 license to fly commercially in the U.S.
Nowadays, I am blessed to be working with some well-respected directors and production houses and gaining experience with the Film Industry, while at the same time, I run my own projects and submit them to film festivals around the world. Until today, I have been awarded five times in the United States, Germany, and China. For me, having my aerial film being screened thousands of miles away, is a great reward.
Aerial Cinematography is my passion, and my main future goal is to open a path to the U.S. Aerial Film Industry, build a network and learn from the best, invest in new aerial platforms and cinema cameras, enrich my portfolio and establish my name on the worldwide market.
