Open Sky Photography · Edinburgh, East Lothian & Scotland
Aerial photography and drone video in Edinburgh and Scotland
Show your property, development or business in its surroundings. We plan aerial photography and video around the story you want to tell and the channels where your audience will see it.
The setting is part of the story
Show the scale, the surroundings and the detail.
A ground-level photograph may show the building beautifully while leaving its setting unclear. Aerial views can show the grounds, approach, neighbouring landscape and the relationship between buildings.
Our Mavic 4 Pro gives us a dedicated aerial photography and video option. We choose the aircraft, viewpoints and shot list around the site, light and intended use.
What you get
A shoot planned for the finished result.
Image quantities, editing, resolution, delivery and usage are agreed in your quotation.
Clips or a finished sequence
Choose source clips, an edited aerial film or both when preparing the quote. Agree length, pace and the features to highlight.
Files for the channels you use
Tell us whether you need a website banner, brochure image, presentation or social post. We plan framing and exports around those uses.
An organised handover
The agreed files in the specified formats, with editing scope and usage terms clear before the shoot.
Property and places
Help people picture being there.
For a home, estate or holiday property, a useful shot list might include the main approach, the building within its grounds and key outdoor features. Wider views can show the setting, while closer angles give the subject presence.
Tell us which features matter to the audience and anything that should be excluded from the shoot.
Business and developments
Give your project a clear visual identity.
Aerial imagery can introduce commercial premises, show a completed development or add scale to a company film. For an active project, construction monitoring can capture the journey as well as the finished result.
For technical inspection or measurement, choose a survey service so the capture is designed for that purpose.
Before the shoot
A short brief makes a big difference.
- Share the location and audience. Tell us what you are promoting and who needs to see it.
- Choose the important views. Include features to highlight, example styles and any shot you particularly need.
- Agree the deliverables. Confirm photographs, clips or a finished film, together with orientation, editing and usage.
- Prepare the site. Discuss access, vehicles, activity and presentation so the subject is ready when light and flying conditions are suitable.
Your questions answered
Can you provide portrait content for social media?
Yes, where it is included in the brief. Tell us the platforms and formats required so we can plan framing and suitable edits before capture.
Do you supply raw files or all the footage?
Source files, selected clips and final edited outputs are different deliverables. We specify what is included and any additional editing in your quotation.
What happens if the weather is unsuitable?
Flights depend on safe conditions and the look you want to achieve. We agree scheduling and weather arrangements before the shoot, especially where there is a fixed launch or publication date.
