Services
Aerial Photography
Our aerial photography services capture comprehensive property views using manned aircraft platforms. This service provides high-altitude perspectives showing locational advantages and surrounding context. Ideal for real estate marketing and infrastructure documentation, our FAA-certified pilots and photographers deliver 36-megapixel resolution imagery suitable for both print and digital applications.
Drone Videography
Professional drone videography services offer dynamic low-altitude footage with cinematic quality. Our Part 107-certified operators use DJI and Autel drones to capture 4K video for property showcases and construction documentation. This service provides unique perspectives unattainable from traditional aircraft due to FAA altitude restrictions and airport proximity limitations.
Architectural Photography
Comprehensive architectural photography services document buildings and properties from ground level. Our photographers specialize in commercial real estate, capturing both interior and exterior features for marketing materials. This service includes elevated ground shots that show parking capacity and customer traffic patterns for retail properties.
Construction Documentation
Specialized construction progress photography tracks development timelines using consistent imaging techniques. Available as standalone service or with aerial components, this offering includes print and digital deliverables in multiple formats. Our team provides regular documentation cycles to showcase project milestones to stakeholders and investors.
Vertical Mapping
High-resolution vertical mapping services create precise 'map-like' imagery using specialized camera equipment. This service produces georeferenced orthophotos with 6-inch resolution, suitable for land surveys and planning documents. Available in TIFF and JPEG formats, these images support large-format printing for presentation purposes.
