Photographer drone.
Our drone photographers capture high-definition aerial footage and photography to showcase your projects at their best. Leveraging their expertise and professional-grade equipment, they deliver spectacular and original images from a unique bird’s-eye perspective.
Our approach as drone photographers.
Every project begins with a thorough assessment of the location, lighting conditions, and flight constraints. We analyze the sun’s position, terrain, obstacles, and key viewpoints to determine the most suitable altitude, angle, and drone positioning.
This preparation allows us to anticipate image composition and avoid approximate framing. By carefully working with leading lines, geometry, scale, symmetry, and top-down perspectives, we create balanced and impactful aerial photographs.
Technical precision is equally essential. Depending on the subject, we use motion tracking, focus lock, prefocus techniques, or continuous autofocus (AF-C) to ensure optimal sharpness and image quality.
We also pay close attention to exposure and dynamic range. Shooting in RAW format, using AEB bracketing and HDR techniques, maintaining low ISO settings, and manually adjusting white balance enable us to produce detailed, natural, and professional-grade images.

Frequently asked questions about aerial photography.
Why hire a professional drone photographer?
Hiring a professional drone photographer allows you to obtain high-quality aerial imagery that enhances the value of a location, real estate property, architectural project, wedding, event, or construction site. By capturing views from above, aerial photography reveals volumes, lines, layouts, and perspectives that are simply impossible to achieve from the ground.
Drone imagery also brings a more cinematic dimension to communication and marketing projects. Whether in photography or video production, it enables the creation of premium visual content tailored for portfolios, websites, real estate listings, social media campaigns, press kits, and client presentations.
What are the benefits of drone aerial photography?
Drone photography offers unique perspectives on familiar locations. It highlights the key features of a landscape, building, hotel, construction site, or region by providing a broader view of the environment; something that cannot be achieved with a conventional camera alone.
Compared with aerial photography from a private aircraft or helicopter, drones are often a more flexible and cost-effective solution. They help capture attention, enhance real estate listings, document construction progress, and provide fresh creative opportunities for businesses, institutions, agencies, and brands.
What types of projects can a drone photographer cover?
A drone photographer can support a wide range of projects, including real estate, architecture, construction, tourism, landscapes, hotels, events, weddings, marketing campaigns, and corporate films. Services may include raw photography, professionally edited images, aerial photography, 4K video production, or a complete set of visual assets tailored to the specific needs of each project.
At LakeProd, every assignment begins with a detailed assessment of the location, lighting conditions, framing opportunities, flight constraints, and the client’s objectives.
What rules must be followed when flying a drone in Switzerland?
In Switzerland, professional drone operators must comply with the regulations established by the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA). Depending on the type of drone, its weight, and the nature of the mission, operators may be required to register themselves and/or their aircraft, obtain the appropriate remote pilot certification, and meet specific operational requirements.
Liability insurance is also an important consideration. For drones weighing more than 250 grams, third-party liability insurance is mandatory. Before every flight, drone pilots must verify airspace restrictions, no-fly zones, and any temporary limitations in place. Tools such as the Skyguide Swiss U-space platform help operators ensure that flights are conducted safely, responsibly, and in full compliance with Swiss aviation regulations.
How do you become a drone photographer?
Becoming a drone photographer requires a combination of photography skills, piloting expertise, safety awareness, and a solid understanding of aviation regulations.
The foundations of the profession include image composition, exposure control, photo editing, RAW workflow, image resolution, lighting techniques, and a thorough knowledge of drone operating rules.
Specialized training courses can help aspiring professionals develop these skills in a structured way. Some programs cover Swiss drone regulations, flight planning, risk management, and hands-on piloting practice. These courses are often offered in major training centers such as Zurich and St.
What equipment should you use for high-quality drone photography?
A drone equipped with at least a 1-inch sensor is recommended for achieving high-quality images, particularly in challenging lighting conditions. The onboard camera, flight stability, image resolution, dynamic range, and manual camera controls all play a crucial role in the final result.
Shooting in RAW format preserves the full range of data captured by the sensor, providing greater flexibility during post-production. Features such as exposure bracketing (AEB), HDR imaging, low ISO settings, and manual white balance adjustments help retain highlight detail and produce natural, detailed, and professional-looking photographs.
How do you create a strong drone photography composition?
A successful drone photograph relies on composition, lighting, and perspective. Applying the rule of thirds helps structure landscapes, buildings, and real estate properties. Leading lines, symmetry, variations in scale, top-down views, and natural contrasts add depth and visual impact to the image.
Slow and controlled flight movements also contribute to smoother captures, especially when the drone’s control sensitivity is properly adjusted. This approach improves framing precision and creates a stronger visual presence for the subject, whether it is a location, building, event, or movement through space.
How much does a drone photography project cost?
The cost of hiring a drone photographer depends on the complexity of the project. For photography assignments, our pricing takes into account the planned flight time on site, the number of professionally edited images delivered during post-production, any required authorizations, and travel expenses.

Are drone images useful for real estate and architecture?
Yes, drone services are particularly valuable for the real estate and architecture sectors.
Aerial imagery provides a comprehensive view of a property, showcasing its location, scale, access points, land, and surrounding environment. These perspectives help attract potential buyers and enhance the overall appeal of a real estate listing.
Our architectural photographers will also tell you that drone photography is an effective way to highlight a building’s lines, form, and design. It reveals how the structure interacts with its surroundings and emphasizes its relationship with the broader landscape and urban context.
