2018 Drone Scholarship Winner ($5,000) – Elyse Cosgrove is a storyteller passionate about documenting life experiences, human connection and emotions through photo and video. She lives in the DC area and started her own photography/videography business Elysees Eye Productions, LLC. Elyse expressed interest in using drones for her photography work because she believes, “it can be a major support in helping to tell beautiful and important stories in new ways – and broaden peoples perspectives on their own city, state and even the world.” Inspired by her husband’s grandfathers who have served the military, she hopes to use this scholarship and training, “to become a part of the DC drone community and to help our government and other supporting businesses create powerful imagery that can create change.”
