Capture what matters to you, on the ground or in the air.

Thanks for stopping by and exploring my work! My name is Clay Benfield, and I am a professional filmmaker and photographer based in the area of Lake Oconee, Georgia. I’m happy to travel, so if you aren’t local, don’t let that keep us from collaborating.

Back in college, I learned to fly airplanes and developed a lifelong passion for aviation. Other pilots and friends began greeting me with the nickname “Clayviation,” and it just stuck. My aeronautical experience is what paved the way for me to start flying drones back in 2016, and that ultimately opened the door for my passion in films and photography.

I love to capture moments and tell a story. Sometimes that’s straightforward, and I can learn about your goals with a particular project and execute accordingly to meet your needs. But if you are looking for a custom film and don’t have it all in focus, that’s okay, too. We can collaborate and create a plan together. Let’s start with a simple conversation and create something truly excellent.
