What is drone photography and how is it captured?

Drone photography, also known as aerial photography, is captured by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), more commonly known as a drone. A camera is attached to the drone and can capture still images and video. From the ground, a licensed drone pilot operates the drone while capturing images and video.

How high will you fly for aerial photography?

Our photographers follow the recommended guidelines of aviation authorities and fly below 400 feet (121 meters) for aerial photography. In certain locations, additional airspace restrictions may require that we fly lower or cancel the shoot (if drones are not permitted within that area). Restricted airspaces can include: Sports stadiums Airports Special use airspaces Security-sensitive airspaces Please be aware that we are also not typically permitted to fly our drones over public or common spaces, such as public parks, beaches, and homeowners associations, so we cannot complete aerial subdivision shoots and do not offer aerial stock images.

How do I schedule an aerial and ground shoot for the same property?

Our Aerial and Ground photoshoots are scheduled as two separate orders for the same address as they require two different photographers with very different equipment. It’s best to schedule each order back-to-back instead of at the same time. We don’t want either photographer showing up your images!
