In the world of Drone Ship/Vessel photography, few stand as steady as Riaan Huysamen. With nearly two decades of experience and thousands of precision-flown missions, his lens tells the untamed story of sea and sky — with clarity, control, and cinematic force.
He doesn’t chase moments — he anticipates them. Whether from the deck of a battle ship, rubber duck chase boat, or tracking a vessel at full throttle, every frame is captured with intent, discipline, and deep respect for the elements. No shortcuts. No compromise.
From battleships splitting the ocean to jet-skis carving arcs through spray, from roaring engines to distant silhouettes of ocean giants — he captures them in majestic motion. This isn’t just photography. It’s poetry at velocity. A visual chronicle forged in experience and lit by his passion.
