How to Hire the Best Firm to Handle Your Drone Photography With These Questions

by | Nov 20, 2018

Drone photography is becoming very popular over the years. Ever since it was introduced commercially, more and more people are looking to join in the drone community.

It has also become very popular for companies to incorporate drone photography and videography into their marketing and advertising materials, given how attractive the final result is.

However, because drone services have become so popular, you may have noticed that there are dozens of production companies offering these services in your area. It’s become difficult to figure out which company best fits your needs.

If this is a problem you face, here are some questions that you can ask to see if this is the right company to handle your drone photography needs.

Are you licensed?

This should be one of the very first things that you should ask a drone services company when inquiring about their services. Because of the popularity of drones, several countries have made it a requirement for commercial drone pilots to take an exam in order to be licensed and certified.

This license informs you that the licensed drone pilot is aware of the local drone laws and regulations in place and that any footage they take complies with these regulations.

Can I see your portfolio?

If you want to see whether or not a drone services company is right for your project, you should definitely be taking a look at their portfolio. This is a straightforward way of checking out the style of the drone services company that you’re considering.

If you can, try to ask them for references of previous clients that they’ve worked with so that you can get a feel for what kind of people they are to work with on a project. The character of the company you work with is as important as the skill when it comes to working together.

Can you tell my story?

There’s a difference between being capable of flying a drone and being able to tell a story with a drone.

It’s fairly easy to get caught up with drone flying, after all, it’s a lot like flying a remote control helicopter, and because of the unique perspective of drone photography, you don’t have to try very hard to make a shot look great.

However, there’s a difference between cool looking shots and shots that tell your story. Make sure that the drone pilot and director are capable of communicating with you effectively in order to tell the story that you’re hoping to tell.
