Little About Me

Meet Mike Fertic, your photographer.

Mike Fertic is one of the premier Tampa Bay photographers and an FAA licensed drone pilot based in Weeki Wachee, Florida specializing in Architecture, Real Estate, and Aerial Photography. During Mike's years of traveling the world, he discovered a passion for photographing the places that he visited. After obtaining his licensing he launched his photography career with a focus on interior and exterior spaces as he has always had an eye for architecture.

Photography is the perfect mixture of science, art, and creativity for Mike's innovative and imaginative mind. Mike uses both natural and artificial light to capture the essence of a property or room. All of his images are crafted with an eye on creating a realistic representation that transports the viewer to the space.

When he's not photographing an architectural wonder or flying his drone, Mike can be found capturing landscape and travel images around the world…or with his feet in the sand, a little bit of hot sauce, and some Jimmy Buffett music in the background.
