Available to hire
Hi, I’m Gage Shaw, a passionate drone operator and freelance media professional based in Oklahoma City. With experience in photography, videography, and production, I love capturing compelling stories through different visual media every day. I work closely with reporters and clients to create engaging content that resonates.
I bring strong problem-solving skills, situational awareness, and leadership to my work, whether I’m snapping real estate photos with a drone or safely navigating storm chasing assignments. Outside of work, I enjoy building teams and continuously improving my craft in both media and customer service.
