Still have questions?
Aerial photography involves capturing photographs and videos from an elevated position, typically using drones or aircraft. It offers unique perspectives and wide-angle views that are not possible with standard ground-based photography.
The cost of aerial photography can vary depending on factors like the complexity of the project, duration of the shoot, and equipment used. While it can be more expensive than traditional photography, the unique results often justify the investment.
Yes, in most cases. The regulations depend on the location and purpose of the shoot. For commercial purposes, drone pilots usually need to comply with specific regulations like the FAA Part 107 in the United States. It’s important to check local laws and obtain necessary permits.
Aerial photography is ideal for real estate marketing, construction site monitoring, environmental studies, event coverage, film production, and more. It provides a comprehensive view that is particularly useful for large-scale projects and scenic captures.
Weather plays a significant role in aerial photography. Ideal conditions include clear skies and minimal wind. Adverse weather, like rain, fog, or high winds, can not only affect the quality of the images but also the safety of the drone flight.
