Through The Cameras Eye LLC began nearly two decades ago in 1997 as a hobby for owner Scott M Rhodes, who at the time was working as a successful broker in the yachting industry. Back then he was a still photographer experimenting with a "brand new medium", digital photography. Armed with a 1 mega-pixel camera he captured the views around his hometown on Long Island, NY. Growing up the son of a baymen and working on the water selling yachts, many of his photos were taken from a boat or off a beach.
Over the years he also learned how to create museum quality, large format prints of his work. He sold these on the still very new "digital highway", the internet, Art Studios and at Art Shows. He also used his images to sell luxury yachts all over the country.
Around 2010 Scott discovered his first "flying camera". The original Parrot AR Drone. "It was a mess, hard to fly, unstable and took terrible pictures", Scott says. However, the unique perspective had him hooked! Aerial photography and video was quick to become his primary focus of his images and is still today.
Early in 2020, the weekend before the world was shut down due to the Covid 19 Epidemic, Scott passed the FAA Part 107 UAV Pilots License exam. This allows him to use drones for more than just a hobby and to shoot commercially. Something you cannot legally do without being FAA Licensed. It also gave him a wealth of experience and knowledge in how to safely and legally fly UAVs.
Today he is based just outside of Annapolis, MD and has left the yachting industry to focus full-time on his drone services and other creative efforts. He started an LLC, Through The Cameras Eye LLC to help manage his new business. Scott has been taking his relationships and experience working in sales, marketing, and advertising in the boating industry for more than 25 years and married them to his passion for drone photography and video. The result is a company that knows how to help others use unique imagery to sell their products online, especially in an MLS environment.
During the winter months when calls for drone services are a bit slower, Scott enjoys creating signs and other gifts for sale on Etsy. All of his items are handmade and designed by him. Each one is unique and make for great gifts for anyone that appreciates a handmade gift.
