Built on
Texas Grit.
I'm Jordan Paredes — born in Houston, Texas. I built Clean Cut Shots from the ground up and I'm still the one behind the camera.
A Studio Built
for Real Work
Clean Cut Shots is owned and operated by a Houston-based FAA Part 107 certified commercial drone pilot and photographer. With hands-on training in drone movement, flight safety, and operational coordination, every flight is conducted professionally and in full compliance with FAA regulations.
Beyond the skies, Clean Cut Shots offers full-service photography and videography on the ground — shooting with the Nikon Z6III and a versatile 70-200mm lens to capture sharp, dynamic imagery for any situation. Video productions are stabilized with a professional gimbal and recorded with wireless microphone systems for broadcast-quality audio.
Post-production is handled entirely in-house: photos are edited in Adobe Lightroom and videos are color-graded and edited in DaVinci Resolve. This end-to-end capability means you get a consistent, polished final product without the delays of outsourcing.
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.
