Best Practices - Aerial Drone Images
Drones have become commonplace in the photography industry. They offer a different perspective than we are used to. By adding a little altitude from the standard ground image we can minimize foreground elements and shift the focus to more of the buildings exterior. By hovering directly over a project we can offer a birds-eye view. There are advantages to using a drone and offering a different perspective.
Working with a drone can require some advanced planning. We are FAA Part 107 certified and abide by all local, state and federal requirements when operating a drone. Safety is the first element when it comes to a successful photoshoot involving aerial drone images.
The other major factor when it comes to operating a drone for exterior architectural photography is weather. We need to make sure the weather is calm and dry. Conditions can change rapidly so being able to track weather helps.
If you think aerial imagery will enhance the photography of your project we will begin by analyzing the site. Checking resources from the FAA to make sure the airspace we will be operating in is safe and legal to do so is the first step. We will look at the surroundings to make sure there are no obstructions and that we can maintain a line of site with the drone.
