A Little About Me

My name is Brittany Hicken, I am a photographer, videographer, and licensed drone pilot. I have been shooting photographs for over nine years and have over six years of industry experience!
As a freshman in high school, I found my love for the photographic medium, and since decided that it was the career I wanted to pursue and forever learn and develop my skills in; little by little, it has become my most profound passion. I went to and graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design, where my admiration for the art grew immensely.
I am incredibly passionate about traveling for my photography, and I have been seeing the country little by little, one 3-week road trip at a time for my personal project. I have seen over half of the country as of October 2023, and I plan on finishing and publishing a book! Nothing brings me more joy than creating and connecting with people. My goals and aspirations are to work and travel for National Geographic in the future and be able to travel as often as I can to new places and experience the absolute most possible!
Check out my portfolio for the variety of different subject matters I shoot in! Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Using aerial shots and cinematic footage, I provide a unique perspective that elevates the property's visual appeal. This is especially effective for large estates, properties with expansive grounds, or those in scenic locations. The ability to capture sweeping aerial views allows me to highlight the property and its surroundings in a way traditional photography can't.
