Built on
Texas Grit.
Jordan Paredes — Houston native, veteran, and FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot with 1,000+ flight hours. Clean Cut Shots was built from the ground up with the same pilot behind every camera.
A Studio Built
for Real Work
Clean Cut Shots is owned and operated by Jordan Paredes — a Houston-based veteran, FAA Part 107 certified commercial drone pilot, and photographer with over 1,000 flight hours logged. Trained hands-on at Drone U in Colorado, one of the most rigorous flight programs in the industry, I conduct every flight professionally and in full compliance with FAA regulations.
Beyond the skies, Clean Cut Shots delivers full-service photography and videography on the ground — shooting with the Nikon Z6III and a 70-200mm lens for sharp, dynamic imagery in any environment. Video productions are gimbal-stabilized and recorded with wireless microphone systems for broadcast-quality audio.
Post-production is handled entirely in-house: photos edited in Adobe Lightroom, video color-graded and cut in DaVinci Resolve. End-to-end control means a consistent, polished final product — no outsourcing, no delays.
Currently accepting contract and freelance work across all industries in Houston and Greater Texas.
Our Core Values
Precision Over Volume
I deliberately keep my project load manageable so every client gets my full attention. I'd rather do fewer projects exceptionally well than rush through many.
Your Vision First
Your goals drive every creative decision. I listen, ask the right questions, and build an approach that reflects your brand — not a template.
Right Tools for the Job
DJI Mini 5 Pro for standard aerial coverage, FPV Avata 2 for cinewhoop low-altitude immersive shots, Nikon Z6III for ground-level work, gimbal and wireless audio for video. Professional gear matched to the job.
No Surprises
Every project starts with a clear scope and agreed timeline. You always know where things stand and what to expect at delivery.
Behind the Camera
One operator. Full accountability. Every project handled start to finish.
