Welcome!
Hi, I’m Steve Buchta - owner of Ignis Aerial, LLC, firefighter/paramedic, and a lifelong believer in hard work, integrity, and capturing the world from a new perspective.
I’ve spent over two decades serving my community in the fire service, where precision, trust, and attention to detail aren’t optional - they’re everything. Those same values guide my work behind the camera. What started as a creative outlet has grown into a full aerial and ground-based media company serving southern Indiana.
At Ignis Aerial, I combine FAA Part 107- certified drone piloting with professional photography and videography to create clean, polished visuals for real estate, marketing, events, inspections, and storytelling. Whether I’m flying a drone over a construction site, capturing a family portrait, or walking a property with a camera in hand, my goal is simple: deliver above-and-beyond results that people trust.
I’m proud to be a firefighter-owned business, grounded in the values of service, reliability, and doing the job right the first time. When you work with me, you get someone who shows up prepared, communicates clearly, and treats your project with the same care I give my work on the fireground.
If you’re looking for high-quality photos or video - aerial or ground - I’d be honored to help bring your vision to life.
