Aerial Photography

Aerial photography provides invaluable documentary data, as well as being one of the best tools available for communicating to a variety of audiences. We provide cost-effective, high-resolution aerial photography of job sites, archaeological sites, survey areas, and project areas.

Photographs are tailored to the individual needs of the project for use in project planning, project reports, professional presentations, communication with the public and project sponsors, and promotional material. We work from the platform (helicopter, fixed wing crewed aircraft, or UAV) that best suits client needs and have the equipment to provide outstanding image quality.

Henry D. Wallace has 30 years of photography experience. His images have been published in a wide range of publications, including the Arizona Daily Star newspaper, books, magazines, and many professional reports.

Caleb Ferbrache is an FAA certified remote airman. All remote flight missions comply with Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations governing commercial UAV use.

Services include:

  • High-resolution oblique aerial photography

  • High-resolution vertical photography

  • Helicopter, fixed-wing, UAV platforms
