Via HELICOPTER / AEROPLANE or “DRONE†(FULL unrestricted license and $50m Public Liability Insurance)
I have spent 25 years in the construction industry. Started as a cadet for Concrete Constructions and worked up through various large and mid range construction companies to the position of Construction Manager. In July 2010 decided to take a break from the industry and concentrate on SKYview Aerial Photography, the business that had been running part time from 2004.
With the vast experience in the construction industry, I developed a niche business in providing aerial photography at regular intervals, to monitor projects during construction. These photos are used from PCG reviews, board reviews, magazines and publications through to emailing status to international organizations

WHAT are the photos used for?
WHEN would you like the photos taken?
SKYview Aerial Photography operate any day of the week. For construction sequence photography, we shoot in all conditions. This is to ensure continuity of time lapse and reporting. For the marketing photographs, we await a clear day, however, our experience is an overcast day is best for buildings themselves, then a clear day for regional shots
WHERE does SKYview Aerial Photography Operate?
Usually throughout NSW, VIC, ACT and QLD, however we have the capability to operate throughout Australia depending on your requirements
Please explain the "construction" side of SKYview Aerial Photography?
The photographer has over 25 years of construction management experience in the industry from top tier construction companies write through to smaller organizations. This enable us to capture exactly what the client needs...they DO NOT NEED to explain each angle or item to capture as we already understand the construction sequence.
+++SKYview Aerial Photography is the only company operating with this expert knowledge
HOW do you capture our project?
SKYview Aerial Photography uses 2 pilots flying both fixed wing and helicopters for their work. This makes it safer and easier, especially within the large metropolitan areas or adjacent major airports
We put your project in our GPS system that is street level based. We also run twin GPS's in the aircraft to locate your site easily
We shoot the project whilst orbiting the site around 500 meters and higher, above the project from all angles. Then we might get some vertical shots, move away from the site and use the wide angle lens to shoot some regional shots from various directions...This is so we can capture your site in relation to landmarks ie towns, suburbs or even the city sometimes
*In the plane, we have modified the window and shoot out the window
For the technically minded, we use high powered close up and wide angle lens on Canon bodies and fly usually a Cessna 182T model with "glass cockpit" ie twin computer screens...gone are the days of all those dials. This is a four seater high power aircraft. We have storm trackers as well to get around those pesky bumpy rides.. We also use an aerobatic plane for short runs. As a side benefit, we encourage clients come join us on one of the flights, to see their own site in a different perspective.
As far as helicopters, we mainly use R44 4 seater Robinson
for "Drone" work, we use a whole range of machines.. depending on the requirements
WHAT experience does the photographer have?
The photographer has over 25 years construction experience. He has been involved and managed projects from $3M to in excess of $450 million.
Coming up through the construction industry from a Cadet through to Construction Manager, enables him to understand exactly what photos are required during the construction process.
In fact, this is all how the business commenced so many years ago. The photographer / pilot used to take monthly photos of his large projects during construction for Project Control Group (PCG) meetings. The company he was working for thought they were so impressive and a step ahead of other Contractors, they enticed him to set up the business.
Sure there are other aerial photographers out there, but none with the experience detailed above
