The insurance-claim Drone & Aerial Photography brief
There is a house style for drone aerial on a insurance claim: clean sightlines, honest exposure, restrained retouch. Loss adjusters and policyholders need evidence-quality imagery for storm, fire and escape-of-water claims — the shoot is a documentary record with a specific audience.
