Broadcast-quality aerial photography, video and repeat progress records that keep stakeholders informed.
Construction progress photography and drone video
Repeat images and video from the same viewpoint, captured at project milestones, build a visual record for stakeholder updates. It's the same site, the same angle, month after month: an honest record of what changed.

Stills from the archive
Castles and country houses like these aren't just a photography subject. The same sites often need heritage surveys, sensitive and non-intrusive, for conservation and restoration planning. Where a project needs measured detail rather than a still, our drone topographical surveying service picks up where the photography leaves off.
