Capturing Commercial Drone Photography for Cambodain Zulite Stone

Panmin had a been in touch about about a corporate video and requested additional drone photographs for use on their website, print materials and at trade fairs.

I had recently bought a DJI Air 3 as I’d had a job that required indoor drone videography and photography and I’d hired a DJI Mini 3 Pro. With improved vision sensors and technology, the Air 3 was the ideal tool for the job.

The improved battery life enabled me to fly for extended periods while capturing all aspects of quartz processing.

While the 28mm lens was great at showing the scale of the factory, the new 70mm lens allowed me to punch in and use the drone for dolly shots to get in close and to highlight the key details of the process.

With the combination of sensor size, sensoring technology and dual lenses the Air 3 was the ideal tool for the job.

 I also managed to capture a series of exteriors showing both the facitliy and the industrial park.

 The client were happy with the result and have used the photos extensively on their website

 You can see more examples of my drone photography here and here.

On Location - Taking Commercial Drone Interior and Exterior Photos for Endo Lighting

During pre-production on a corporate video for Endo Lighting to show their lighting installation at AEON 3, the client requested some drone photography to use on their website.

While Simon Toffanello was doing the photography for them, it made sense for me to take the drone photographs as I would be operating a drone for video I was shooting.

Endo Lighting requested a series of exterior and interior drone shots to show the building and their lighting installation.

The exterior drone photographs were taken with a Mavic 2 Pro. They were taken at dusk so the photo gives the impression of it being dark will retaining detail in the background and reducing the noise due to there still being a bit of ambient light.

Due to the height restriction on the Mavic 2 Pro, I hired a Mini 3 Pro, which is a lighter drone that is better designed to fly indoors.

You can see the corporate corporate video I made for them here and check out other examples of my drone photography here. As predominantly a videographer, I mainly use the drone to shoot video and take photographs as an afterthought. It would be great to make more of an effort to explore the creative potential of drone photography.
