My first aerial photography mission was in 1999. Since 2002, I have conducted regularly scheduled photo flights for a wide variety of clients including government agencies, land developers, engineering and construction companies, home builders, planners, commercial and residential real estate companies, golf clubs and private individuals. Capturing those perfect shots of a project requires detailed planning, a photographic eye and a little luck with the weather.
My specialty is low altitude, regularly scheduled photo flights in major Canadian cities. Since many projects are combined into one flight, individual project costs are kept to a minimum. I fly at least twice a month in the Calgary area and once a month in the Red Deer/Edmonton/Fort McMurray, Vancouver/Victoria/Whistler and Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal/regions, less often in winter.
I use either fixed wing aircraft or helicopters, depending on location and client requirements. Since many sites are covered on a given photo flight, I can offer you a fixed price for your project, no matter the aircraft used.
All photography is done with either the door or window removed ensuring the highest qualilty images. I use state of the art photography equipment; my medium format Hasselblad H3D-II digital camera and lenses and Nikon DSLR's and Pro lenses. I also offer video services.
My "claim to fame" is the creative photographer's eye that goes into each and every photo flight along with propriertary (read "secret") post processing techniques to polish each photo up to the best it can be.
As well, I offer a full range of photography and image editing and enhancement services, as well as professional printing and framing.
Generally I only fly when weather conditions are close to perfect. Postponed flights are flown as soon as possible afterwards. Often, last minute flights can be accommodated, depending on my schedule and aircraft availability. Some sites near airports may require more advance notice to air traffic control and, on occasion, we may not be able to get access to a specific site on a given day.
All of my aerial photography services come with a money-back satisfaction guarantee.
