For Amazon, I photographed the then-secret MK30 Prime Air delivery drone. The latest development in the company’s drone delivery technology was unveiled a week later at their annual Delivering the Future event at a warehouse and lab facility south of Seattle. 

Thanks to Lucas for the call, my first shoot for the company!
