A Photographers View Of… Meet Casey Shoub, or as many know him as the “Upstate Outdoor Adventurer”! Casey is an outdoor adventure photographer/videographer at heart who is highly specialized in premier aerial drone work. His deep love for the outdoors goes as far back as he can remember. At a very young age, Casey’s passion was influenced by his Grandmother who always highlighted the beauty in everything, especially within nature. As he grew older, he had a strong desire to capture similar beautiful landscapes and fell in love with photography and videography. Casey has spent many of his years trekking the woods of where he was raised in Western PA. He would go out early morning and finish the day late at night with a good ole fire. This still brings him great joy, and he carries this true outdoor adventurer spirit with him today in the Upstate! Casey’s previous sales profession and MBA studies enabled him to explore all but 5 states in the U.S. as well as visit multiple places internationally. He has traveled to 45 states nationally and soon hopes to cross the remaining locations off of his bucket list. In the meantime, he has enjoyed hiking hundreds of miles just in the Oconee County region alone. After leaving corporate America, Casey pursued comprehensive training and the proper certifications to become a licensed drone operator. Upon completing this education, he pursued his passion to open a business focused primarily on aerial photography/videography. In his professional endeavor he has included ground field work but has concentrated particularly on mastering his drone operations where he has collected over 1,500 plus flights with hopes to someday soon solely focus on aerial outdoor adventure opportunities. When he isn’t spending time with his
beautiful daughter and wife, he is chasing waterfalls, light, lakes, mountains and the different seasons of the Upstate. Some of his favorite things beside hiking, droning and photography/videography are: frolicking with his daughter outside, playing all sports (especially Golf and Ice Hockey), anything that involves the outdoors and of course having some beers with good friends! Casey uses cutting edge ground and aerial camera equipment along with new Adobe programs to showcase his photography and to bring his videos to life! Casey’s deep knowledge of the area, experience hiking, and unique talents with ground/air equipment (especially his drone), allows him to capture multiple angles of Oconee’s naturally beautiful geography. Casey has a very adaptive and ever-changing style, but when it’s necessary and he is shooting subjects he likes to demonstrate scale by capturing it in a minimalistic grand fashion. Like many professional traditionalists, he predominantly likes to showcase nature in its truest and most raw form uninterrupted by humans. Ultimately, utilizing his lens to convey a natural scene captured in that moment of time. The Upstate Outdoor Adventurer’s photography/videography services, especially his aerial drone work, have become a staple in Greenville and the Upstate area. He has even worked with some organizations and businesses in Oconee County, which are always his favorite bookings!! Along with Travel Tourism and the Great Outdoors, Casey works within other industries including: Real Estate, Roof Inspection, Construction, Event/ Sports and Client Centered Content Creation for Businesses and Products. With his love of nature and this area his aim is to one day retire as a local hike guide in the Upstate SC/ Western NC area!
