From Sidelines to Skylines: Eric Stikna’s Journey as a Central Florida Photographer

A Passion for Photography in Central Florida

My journey began with sports photography—capturing fast-paced action, emotion, and storytelling from the sidelines. Over time, that passion evolved into a broader focus on professional photography and videography in Central Florida, including real estate photography, drone services, and construction progress documentation.

Today, I work with homeowners, realtors, builders, schools, and local businesses across Orlando, Celebration, Kissimmee, Lake Nona, and surrounding areas.

Real Estate Photography & Drone Services That Sell

One of my primary areas of focus is Central Florida real estate photography. High-quality visuals are essential for listings, and I specialize in:

• Interior and exterior real estate photography

• Aerial drone photography and video

• Twilight and golden-hour imagery

• FPV drone fly-throughs for unique property marketing

By combining ground photography with drone visuals, I help properties attract attention, generate more interest, and stand out in competitive markets.

Sports, Events, and Community Storytelling

In addition to real estate, I remain deeply connected to sports and event photography in Orlando and Central Florida. From school athletics to community events, my goal is always the same: capture authentic moments that tell a story and create lasting memories.

Working within the local community is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do, and being featured by Orlando Voyager was especially meaningful because it highlights both my business and the people I work with every day.

A One-Stop Photography & Drone Solution

Stikna Photography was built to be efficient, professional, and reliable. Clients appreciate having a single provider for:

• Photography
