Axsmith AirStudio in Greater Rochester, Finger Lakes, and Southern Tier communities
At Axsmith AirStudio, we are proud to be an active community partner serving the Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton, Southern Tier, and Finger Lakes areas in New York with professional drone imaging and education outreach. We regularly support community events with high-quality aerial photography and video coverage that helps organizers showcase their activities, fundraisers, and local stories from a compelling, birds-eye view.
We are also passionate about education and outreach. Through participation in career days and school programs, we introduce students to the evolving world of drone technology, highlighting safe and responsible drone operation, real-world applications, and future career opportunities in aviation and imaging. By sharing knowledge and capturing meaningful images and video, Axsmith AirStudio aims to inspire, inform, and strengthen the connection between technology and community.
Inspiring Future Drone Professionals
Axsmith AirStudio is committed to inspiring the next generation of aviation and technology professionals through career days, STEM nights, and classroom presentations at local schools. We introduce students to safe drone usage, FAA Part 107 requirements, thermography applications, and real-world career paths in aerial imaging, helping them see how drones can support construction, inspection, public safety, and creative media.
Drones are a powerful teaching tool when discussing STEM topics with kids. The questions they ask and the knowledge they share during school career days and STEM days help make these events impactful.
At Axsmith AirStudio, we see our work as more than flying drones and delivering images — it’s a way to amplify the stories, events, and missions of the communities we serve.
Supporting Local Events
Our team provides drone-based photo and video services for festivals, civic events, and nonprofit initiatives, delivering shareable visuals that boost visibility across websites and social media. By combining aerial imagery with on-the-ground storytelling, we help communities highlight their unique character while demonstrating safe, responsible drone operations in public spaces.
Promoting Drone Safety
As FAA-certified remote pilots, we emphasize safety and regulatory compliance in every outreach activity, from explaining airspace and flight rules to demonstrating pre-flight checks and risk management best practices. By sharing practical guidance on safe drone usage alongside captivating images and video, Axsmith AirStudio helps build public trust in unmanned aircraft systems and their value to the community.
