Stefan Buttstadt is a photographer, videographer and licensed drone pilot based in Dekalb, IL.

For as long as I can remember, I always had a camera of some sort with me on family vacations. My parents would either give me my own disposable camera or later, a spare digital camera. Every year, my father and I would go to the auto show and we would compare the shots we each got with all the new cars. Fast forward to today and I now have my own camera and a drone. Living in an area steeped in nature, I have put to practice all those years of being patient and going off the beaten path to get that perfect shot.
