Aerial and drone photography
Drone photography adds a critical perspective to construction, architectural, industrial and property projects — capturing scale, context and progress in ways that ground-level photography simply can't.
As a CASA-certified drone pilot, I integrate aerial imagery into my core photography services, providing elevated views that strengthen project documentation, marketing and stakeholder communications. View pricing.
How drone photography supports your projects
Construction progress and documentation Aerial imagery tracks site progress over time — capturing earthworks, structural milestones, crane activity and site logistics from above. Consistent drone coverage across the life of a build provides a clear visual record for project reporting, stakeholder updates and milestone documentation.
Architectural and completion photography Once a project reaches completion, aerial perspectives showcase the finished building within its surrounding context — streetscape, landscaping, orientation and scale that ground-level photography can't convey.
Industrial and infrastructure Elevated views of industrial facilities, transport infrastructure, marine operations and large-scale plant provide imagery for capability statements, tenders, annual reports and stakeholder communications.
Commercial and residential property Drone photography supports developers, builders and agents with aerial perspectives of completed developments, site context, and surrounding amenities — adding depth to marketing campaigns and listing presentations.
Credentials and Compliance
I'm fully CASA certified to operate commercially across Australia:
CASA Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) — Required for professional drone operations. Allows me to seek approval to fly in controlled airspace, which is frequently necessary in urban and industrial environments close to airports and restricted zones.
CASA Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC) — Enables commercial drone operations, including applications for night flights and operations near airports. Required by many government and corporate clients to ensure regulatory compliance.
Construction Site Card Certified
White Card — Construction site certified for operating on active sites where drone coverage is required as part of ongoing project documentation.
Permits or approvals may be required from CASA or landowners depending on your project's location. I'll advise you in advance if any approvals are needed and factor this into the quote.
