Aerial photography
Aerial photography is one of the most popular services offered by drone photographers. Drones can capture breathtaking aerial images of landscapes, events and properties, offering unique and spectacular views(source).
As holders of an official drone pilot license issued by the DGAC (Direction Générale de l’Aviation Civile), we are authorized to operate drones under optimal, professional conditions. This accreditation not only attests to our adherence to rigorous specifications as image professionals, but also confirms our commitment to complying with all safety procedures before and during each service.
Strict compliance with air traffic control regulations is of paramount importance, given the significant stakes involved. That’s why we take all the necessary precautions when flying drones. Prior to each flight, a request for authorization must be submitted to the prefectural authorities, adapted to the context and specific flight conditions. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Innovative and inventive aerial capture
When it comes to photography and audiovisuals, you can count on me to produce your photos and films, and more generally to meet your image requirements for promoting your company. Every year, I produce a substantial number of reports in a variety of fields, frequently integrating my skills as a drone pilot to carry out aerial captures for local authorities, designers, industrial complexes, hotel services, and so on.
Together, we start by drawing up a set of specifications tailored to your needs. I take charge of the regulatory and legislative aspects. Alone or accompanied, I travel all over France, in Normandy and around Caen to capture images at altitude and/or ground level (aerial photos and films). This is followed by the image processing phase, including the modification of drone photos or the assembly of aerial sequences in 4K, then delivery within the agreed timeframe.
