from the comfort of the home office
One of my most interesting contracts has been for the recording of ongoing construction progress on an apartment building on Shore Drive.
For several months I have been taking photographs and video from similar positions and heights, so that comparisons can be made.
The photos I take are then delivered for viewing by the sites' project managers and construction company owners. This process saves a lot of time because the photos can be sent to any other relevant people for analysis.
Because the photographs are high resolution, the viewers can zoom in and examine items in detail, which is convenient, especially for higher up elements that wouldn't usually be easily visible without a ladder, or lift cradle.
The project has been fascinating, as I had never observed the construction process very closely before. It was as if buildings suddenly appeared.
I look forward to the next shoot just to see what has been added in the last week or so, watching as the building moves closer to the picture on the 'Coming Soon' board.
Several things have to be considered when using aerial photos and video for self-promotion. This is where an experienced, licensed and insured photographer can really make you stand out from the crowd.
Terry Young is an FAA licensed drone pilot and professional photographer and videographer. His 30 plus years of experience in pre- and post-production of both still photography and video, coupled with the latest equipment, enable him to capture amazing, high quality images.
