Drone & Aerial Photography for local causes and fundraisers

Half the work on a community group for drone aerial happens before the camera comes out of the bag. Charity coverage has to produce funder-ready evidence and shareable social frames from the same afternoon, usually with no budget for a second visit — Liverpool Visuals runs pro-bono support for local causes through its In The Community programme.
