Aerial Photography and aerial videography are a most valuable art in todays society. We use the work of aerial photographers for more than just simply beautiful photos or landscapes. Aerial photographers and aerial videographers are used for such things as surveying sites, movie shots, business planning, magazines, city events and much much more. There are also numerous methods in which aerial photographers take these awesome photographs.

Below we will discuss the various types of aerial photography and common uses for these photographs from the sky.

Kite Aerial Photography – Kite aerial photography or KAP is a method that involves the flying of kites in conjunction with cameras to produce amazing sky shots. These sky shots are usually limited by the wind and weather but they are a low cost means to producing beatufil aerial photographers. Kite aerial photographers are not only resourceful in taking photos from the sky, they also have to be crafted at kite flying combined with a touch of physics to perform what they do.

Balloon Aerial Photography – Balloon aerial photography or BAP is a method that involves balloons to take their cameras high up in to the sky. Unlike kites, balloons aren’t as disabled by the lack of wind, however too much wind may make this a challenge for the average balloon aerial photographer. This is a very great method in which it doesn’t make a whole lot of noise and is what is considered “low-impact” on the area around them.

Aerial photography refers to the process of capturing images of objects such as landforms, infrastructure, vegetation, and human settlements from elevated positions. Photographs may be taken either by a photographer or by cameras mounted on aircrafts, balloons, poles, and parachutes.

This type of photography has grown significantly and become a very useful way of collecting important geospatial data. For instance, the construction of mega structures such as cities, roads, and railway lines depends on the data that is collected through air photography.

Aerial Photography is also used for many other purposes such as creating maps, studying weather patterns, surveillance, land use planning, and environmental assessment.

Professionals who depend on aerial photography services when executing their work include engineers, land surveyors, architects, and geospatial information systems experts. Aerial photography is the best source of data for different types of projects and specifically those that rely on spatial data from one geographical location at regular intervals.
