CLAYTON G. BYRD

Born in Minneapolis, shaped by travel, and inspired by the world from above. What started as a love for exploring new places quickly turned into a passion for capturing them—freezing moments in time through aerial photography and cinematic visuals that help tell a bigger story. I’m equally at home filming city energy, quiet natural landscapes, and the in-between details that make a trip unforgettable. These days I’m based in the suburbs of Chicago with my high school sweetheart and wife, Abigail Byrd, and our daughter Zoey, who arrived in 2025. If I’m not creating, you’ll find me cooking, hiking, watching football or basketball, and saying “yes” to whatever adventure is next.
