Aerial photography in commercial applications

From its inception, drone technology has had a huge impact on marketing and advertising. That continues to this day, and in fact almost every commercial sector has enjoyed its advantages. Commercial Aerial Photography in the Okanagan, done properly and by a professional licensed photographer with Transport Canada is cost effective and extremely valuable for commercial purposes. Previously, commercial aerial photography was done using helicopters; this is not cost effective and they are limited in their approach and proximity to the subject matter.

Aerial drone regulations and their results

Updated regulations from Transport Canada have created a new culture amongst commercial aerial photographers. Finally, we’re seeing an end to the negative stigma caused by reckless pilots of the past and this in turn has opened the floodgates to creative freedom, done legally and properly for clients. Most, if not all photographers will claim that aerial photography has likely added an injection of enthusiasm to their work. And this in turn has led to a higher level of end product and ultimately allows the client to profit.

Applications for the Okanagan region

The Okanagan region of BC is one of the largest growth areas in Canada right now. From light and heavy industry, commercial and residential developments, agriculture, film and tv, forestry, manufacturing and others, opportunities abound. And, with that comes commercial applications. Because those applications have so much value, a client needs to be aware of what they can do and how to maximize them. Aerial photography is a valuable tool that can be used.

Below are more examples of commercial sectors using aerial technology in the Okanagan.
