Drone & Aerial Photography for motor retail and aftersales
A dealership handled well makes drone aerial look effortless; the planning is where the difference sits. Forecourt photography is a reflection problem: painted panels and glass mirror everything around them, so vehicle position and shooting angle do most of the work before any editing.
Proof
Where this has worked
Dealer sets are used across stock listings, manufacturer submissions and local paid social simultaneously.
Context
Painted panels mirror everything around them.
The short version: high-resolution aerial stills and 4K video, supplied within 48 hours. Angle and position beat retouching every time on painted panels.
Method
How this gets shot
CAA-licensed flights with a sub-2kg airframe inside congested-area permissions. Angle and position beat retouching every time on painted panels.
