Min duration 30 min.
Cost High
Environment Outdoor

Launch a camera drone and capture sweeping aerial views of coastlines, forests, and cities — creating cinematic footage and striking images from angles that were once impossible to access.

The Essentials

  • Shoot during golden hour whenever possible, since low, angled sunlight brings out texture and depth in aerial landscape shots far better than midday sun
  • Fly higher for context-setting wide shots and lower for detail, since altitude changes the story an aerial photo tells more than any other single factor
  • Check wind speed before takeoff, since strong gusts at altitude can shake footage far more than they seem to on the ground
  • Look for natural leading lines and symmetry from above (roads, coastlines, fields), since these compositions are unique to the aerial perspective
  • Review local drone regulations for the shooting location beforehand, since restrictions on altitude, distance from people, and no-fly zones vary widely by area
