Watch incredible drone footage showing off beauty of Derry

A Derry man is showing off the many stunning sides of the city and beyond after being inspired to turn his hobby into a business while working as a TV extra.

Eye Our Land, a drone and photography venture, was established by Derry native and photography enthusiast Kyle Doherty, who wanted to bring out the best in his home town in a unique way.

Working as an extra in huge television shows such as Game of Thrones allowed Kyle to have a special insight into the world of cinematography and creating amazing visuals.

From this he decided it was time to turn his hobby into a business and created Eye Our Land.

Kyle spoke to MyDerry about this new business he has created and how he hopes it will help take other local businesses to 'new heights'.

He said: "From a young age I have always had an interest in film and photography, but I have never really tried to pursue anything more than a hobby.

"It wasn't until I worked as an extra on the film set of Game Of Thrones and Marcella I realised how much I enjoyed the creative process with how much effort is required to prefect a shot.

"I decided to set up my own drone and photography page to show off what I am capable of. Recently I posted a highlight reel of Derry to show the true beauty of our city."

Kyle now wants to use his new business venture to help others in the city, especially businesses who may not be able to create extraordinary footage themselves and who may struggle with social media creation.

He said: "I always believe that there is plenty out there for everyone and that supporting someone else never takes anything away from you.

"I have always wanted to see people do good for themselves when it comes to setting up their own business or trying new things, so this new venture will help me expand on that.

"I am aiming to help promote local businesses that are struggling with their social media, creating beautiful drone footage and photography to enhance their online presence and increase their customer base.

"I have lived in Derry all my life and I think it is a beautiful city.

"Don't get me wrong, if I had the power to do so I would definitely demolish a building or 10 but I am looking forward to showing the world what Derry is really like."

Eye Our Land can be reached on Facebook and Instagram.
