Drone & Aerial Photography for a funder-facing story
For drone aerial on a funding round, less is nearly always more: a curated 20 beats a splashy 60 every time. Charities and social enterprises need imagery for a funding application or campaign — beneficiaries, place, outcome — the shoot is scoped ethically and consented in full.

Context
