Elusive View

Elusive View Aerial Photography was founded in Jan. 2014 by former U.S. Army Specialist Aaron Barnes. Based in Florida's Manatee County, he takes advantage of having some of the world's most beautiful beaches in his backyard, capturing them aerially in iconic still images as well as a range of stunning video from full HD 1080p to 4K. His views of farmland, forest, city skylines and the Gulf of Mexico are unsurpassed. Please feel free to check out the samples of still shots and video available here on this site as well as his videos on YouTube and see for yourself. Nobody has Florida covered like the Elusive View.

About Aaron: Aaron Sterling Barnes , is a born entrepreneur, having started his love affair with the next big thing at age 11 while holding down three jobs in addition to a grueling stint in fifth grade. Engineering and RC vehicles have always been paramount in his interests, and his interests grew to include full size vehicles as well, developing his skills at auto body and paint, and becoming a certified mechanic at the age of 12 or so.

Having mastered the world of High Performance Bavarian Engineering by recess, he turned to computers; becoming one of the most highly recommended service techs and box-builders in Southwest Florida. Herr Barnes joined the Army upon his graduation from high school in order to gain further training in technologies not available to the average gearhead. The Army took this able recruit and created a tech-monster.

His friend and co-cinematographer Kyle Turner is pretty cool in his own right. Son and heir to a Honey Empire, Kyle is well versed in many subjects from car and motorcycle repair to antique firearms.

So remember, if you need cool stuff photographed: there ain't no crew like the Elusive View!
