About Me

Photographer, Videographer & FAA Part 107 Certified Drone Operator

Thomas McComb

Photographer & Videographer

I’m a photographer and videographer based in Charlotte, NC. I work with local businesses and marketing agencies, real estate agents, and home builders to create visuals that get results: brand content that earns attention, listing media that sells the space, and progress and finished-build footage that markets the work. Every project is shot, edited, and delivered by me, so you work directly with the person behind the camera from first call to final files.

How I Got Here

Before Charlotte, I spent a decade in South Korea building Korea by Bike, a cycling tourism platform with over 10,000 original photos, hundreds of videos, and detailed guides used by thousands of travelers every year. I shot everything myself: landscapes, architecture, food, street scenes, and cultural landmarks. I edited the photos, produced the videos, wrote the content, and grew the site to 157,000 annual visitors and 1,200 paid members.

That experience taught me how to work fast, adapt to unpredictable conditions, and create visuals that serve a purpose. Not just pretty pictures, but images and video that actually help people make decisions.

Now I’m back in Charlotte, where I grew up, applying everything I’ve learned to the local market. I shoot with a Canon R6 Mark II and a DJI Air 3S drone, and I edit in Final Cut Pro and Lightroom.

Why Work With Me

I know what it’s like to build something from scratch and depend on great visuals to make it work. Every photo I took for Korea by Bike had to earn its place: attracting visitors, keeping them on the page, and convincing them to become paying members. I bring that same mindset to every shoot.

What you can expect:

  • Self-contained and professional. A full-frame Canon R6 Mark II, a complete lens kit, a DJI Air 3S drone, and a full lighting and audio rig, so most jobs need no additional crew.
  • FAA Part 107 certified. Legal commercial drone operation with LAANC authorization for controlled airspace across most of the Charlotte metro.
  • Fast turnaround and clear communication. Media formatted and ready for web and social. No chasing, no excuses.
  • One person, start to finish. I handle the shoot, the edit, and the delivery, so quality and communication stay consistent.

Let’s Work Together

Have a project in mind, a property to list, or a build to document? I’d love to hear about it.
