Mast Photography

We currently have a mast systems which can be used to photograph buildings and facilities. Some examples of elevated photography at different heights and in different locations are shown here.

The mast system uses a wireless connection so the photographer can view the photography or video live during the shoot. The camera settings can be controlled from the ground and pan and tilt controls are available for positioning.

Our mast photography is used in a variety of ways alongside our architectural photography services. The mast can be mounted to a vehicle or tripod so we can position the camera in areas where the vehicle may not be able to access. Mast photography can help create a wide view of a property and its surroundings and can be used on residential or commercial property shoots. Some of the shots in our portfolio have been taken on different systems to our current mast system.

Our mast photography service is available at heights between 5-9 meters. For residential property we find a good height to capture images at is 7-8 meters. This height gives a good angle on 2-3 story properties without showing too much of the roof surface. Commercial property is often photographed at 9 meters. Some of the images in our galleries may have been photographed on a mast system over 10 meters which is a service we can no longer provide as standard or with short notice.

When planning mast photography location and weather considerations must be made. It is therefore advisable to discuss the location of the proposed shot and identify any possible hazards which could prevent us from photographing. Weather conditions can cause the cancellation of a photography shoot. If high winds or bad weather occurred we would re-arrange the date for the shoot with you. We can also measure the approximate height the camera is positioned, if you need to know this for any technical purposes.
