One technique for operating a drone device to capture an image based on capture instructions comprises receiving capture instructions determined from social graph information from a social network, the capture instructions identifying one or more subject faces corresponding to one or more social network users identified in the social graph information; and capturing an image including the one or more subject faces based on the capture instructions. Another technique for operating a drone device to capture an image based on capture instructions comprises receiving capture instructions determined from social graph information from a social network, the capture instructions identifying geographic locations of one or more social network users identified in the social graph information; and capturing an image at a geographic location of the geographic locations included in the capture instructions.
