Whether you need aerial images for a property listing, construction project, or marketing campaign, my drone photography in Manchester provides the professional edge your visuals deserve.
I use high-end equipment to capture sharp, detailed stills that give context, scale, and visual impact to your project. From large developments to private properties, my aerial imagery enhances both presentation and communication, making it ideal for:
- Estate agents and developers promoting new builds or land plots - Construction companies monitoring progress and documentation - Architects and designers showcasing completed projects - Commercial property owners marketing their sites online - Businesses wanting aerial imagery for websites and social media
Every shoot is planned carefully with safety, lighting, and local conditions in mind to ensure the best possible outcome.

My work follows the latest Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulations, and I hold full insurance for both equipment and public liability.

Safety, legality, and quality come first in every shoot.
Drone Photography for Property & Construction Projects
Property Marketing: Aerial photography is a powerful way to present homes and developments online. High-angle images give buyers a true sense of layout, surroundings, and space, which helps your listings stand out and sell faster.
Construction Progress: Developers and contractors use my drone photography to document every stage of a project. Whether you’re tracking site progress or creating visuals for investors and reports, aerial stills provide a clear, accurate record.
Commercial and Industrial Sites: Capture expansive sites, warehouses, and facilities from above. My photography helps highlight accessibility, size, and infrastructure — key selling points for B2B marketing and tenders.
Step 1: Consultation - We’ll discuss your objectives, site location, and the type of imagery you need. I’ll also check flight permissions and weather conditions before confirming the shoot. Step 2: On-Site Shoot - Using professional-grade drones, I capture stills at multiple altitudes and angles to give you a versatile gallery of images. Step 3: Editing and Delivery - Every image is refined for sharpness, colour, and exposure before being delivered in high resolution for both digital and print use. Step 4: Licensing and Use - You receive full licensing rights to use the images across your website, marketing materials, and client presentations.
