Her Drone Journey
Joanna L Steidle is an international award-winning drone pilot and artist based in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York.

She started off flying small non automated drones in 2015 and fell in love with flight immediately. Then, quickly graduated to a camera drone and found the new perspective of her home vicinity captivating. She has a deep love of the ocean, our lands and considers Mother Nature as her spiritual guide.
Honored as a “Global Woman to Watch,” by Women and Drones in the Visual Arts category, was one of her gateways to the worldwide drone art market. With a style all her own she continues to progress highlighting the beauty of this world and our oceans. She currently is the only female DJI Creator in the USA.
My Mission
Capturing the natural beauty and interesting people of the Hamptons has been a passion since I first took flight, and my hope is that my story & photos inspire other women to take to the air, too. Giving back is very important to me, and I spend a fair amount of time teaching, consulting, and mentoring women. Being able to shorten the learning curve for them with accurate information, flying tips & even purchasing tips is paramount to their rapid success. There were countless people who took time to help me when I started & I'm honored to do the same.
Throughout all the learning, I have maintained a strict safety regime and privacy ethic, which I'm extremely proud of. Ultimately, I'd love to travel the World, bringing the joys of drone life with me to distant lands, while sharing the beautiful images with the masses.
