I’m Russ, the founder of 51 Media—and since 2017, I’ve built and operated one of the largest Drone YouTube channels in the world, 51 Drones. That journey sparked my love for visual storytelling and taught me how powerful the right image or video can be.

In 2019, I started using that passion to help local REALTORS showcase their listings. What began as a side gig quickly became a calling. I found that capturing a property isn’t just about lighting or angles—it’s about inviting people to imagine their lives there.

Today, 51 Media is my full-time focus. I serve REALTORS, homeowners, and businesses across our region by delivering professional, story-driven photography, videography, and aerial media that stand out from the crowd.

I work independently, which means when you hire 51 Media, you’re working directly with me. I know the real estate landscape in North Dakota, and I already have relationships with many of the agents in the community. My goal is simple: to become the go-to media partner for anyone who wants their listing—or brand—to shine.

What truly sets me apart? Social media strategy. With years of experience growing digital audiences and creating content that converts, I know how to make your media work for you—not just look good. That’s a competitive edge no one else in our area offers.

Let’s build something beautiful together.
