Drone work - a new perspective

What are we talking about ?

Drone shooting is still a relatively new form of photography in the property market, but it offers something completely unique - images that were previously difficult and expensive to capture. This new perspective allows us to see the property and its surroundings as a whole. No longer do we need to piece together multiple images to understand its shape, layout, and context. A single drone shot can reveal the property, the garden, neighboring areas, and even scenic views nearby. Capturing the same story at ground level would be near impossible.

It’s important to note that drone photography isn’t a replacement for traditional photography—it’s an addition. A full photography package, complete with wide-angle shots and detailed close-ups, remains essential. Drone shots are the icing on the cake, and in some cases, the cherry on top too. They add a sense of scale, context and clarity that conventional photography alone cannot provide.

Is it right for you?

Some properties naturally lend themselves more to drone photography than others, but that doesn’t mean the rest are excluded. Sometimes, there’s a single feature—perhaps a sprawling garden, a unique roofline, or a scenic view - that benefits from an aerial perspective. Even compact city properties can gain insight into outdoor spaces, layout, or their position within a neighborhood. Drone photography isn’t just about showing a property; it’s about giving a clearer sense of place and scale.

Ultimately, drone photography is a valuable tool to complement traditional images. It provides a broader perspective, enriches the visual story of the property, and helps viewers understand its surroundings more fully.

Practical Considerations for Drone Photography

While drone photography can provide incredible perspectives, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, not every property will require a full aerial shoot; sometimes just one or two carefully planned shots are enough to capture what makes the property special. Second, there are legal and safety considerations—licensed operators must follow local regulations, maintain safe distances from people and structures, and avoid restricted airspace.

Timing also matters. Early mornings or late afternoons often provide the best light, giving images a natural warmth without harsh shadows. Seasonal changes can make a difference too—lush greenery or autumnal colours can add a subtle but impactful layer to the property’s presentation.

Finally, collaboration is key. We will work with you to understand which features are most important, ensuring that each drone shot serves a clear purpose and complements the rest of the photography package

Whether your property has sweeping grounds, a unique rooftop, or simply something that deserves to be seen from above, drone photography can add an extra dimension to your listing. It’s not just about taking pictures—it’s about showing your property in a way that makes sense and feels complete.
