Octamedia Productions is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, but we travel nationwide and internationally.
We frequently shoot on location using a large inventory of cameras, lights, and grips. When needed, we rely on a large network of rental studios.
Frédéric is a licensed FAA Part 107 drone pilot with over 800 hours of experience photographing from a helicopter.
