SPECIALISED PHOTOGRAPHY Services

Aerial photography done by radio-controlled aircraft or specialised kite equipment has several advantages to the client over conventional methods using full-scale aircraft. We are not limited by factors such as minimum flying altitude over residential areas, or the cost factor of keeping full-scale aircraft in the air combined with the cost of a knowledgeable aerial photographer.

Estate agents know very well that a good photograph of the property can catch the attention of prospective buyers over other listed properties. An elevated view of the property will get more attention than a ground-based photograph in almost every instance.

Especially when the damage is widespread, an aerial view of the damage will greatly assist in the process of insurance claims.

Construction Projects

Construction projects, especially on a larger scale, need to be monitored to ensure that work is on schedule, and investors need to be kept up to date on the progress of the project. An aerial view provides an excellent perspective on the overall progress of construction work and also point out details which could otherwise not be observed from ground level.

Event Coverage

Outdoor events often take place over a large area and is difficult to cover effectively from the ground. Think of events such as live bands, agricultural exhibitions, downhill mountainbiking, surfing contests, 4X4 trails, canoe marathons, rockclimbing, sailing, outdoor car shows and any other outdoor event. Aerial photographs of the event will have a lot more impact than ground photos!
