Drone photography using Namibia as an example

Travelling to learn about other cultures and discover new landscapes has always been a passion-driven hobby for us. 

For us, travelling is of course not just about taking pictures, but we always have our camera with us. Not only in the context of persöIn terms not only of our personal interest but also in terms of our professional careers, one destination stood out as particularly impressive: Namibia. Besides the fantastic photo motifs in the animal and plant world, Namibia's diverse landscape lends itself to a very special kind of photography: Drone photography. 

Drone Photography in Namibia

Especially in Africa, getting up early is rewarded with spectacular landscapes in the first light of the day. Nowhere in the world is the rising and setting of the sun as worth seeing as in the golden light of the African continent.

What makes the light so special is the incredibly clean atmosphere, which leads to optimal lighting conditions. On the one hand, this saves us a lot of post-processing, and on the other hand itöIt opens up a completely new, unclouded perspective on reality. Between the red dunes of the Kalahari Desert, the arid Skeleton Coast with its transition into the seemingly endless Namib and the green Etosha Pan, alive with thousands of animals, we were able to take some of the most spectacular pictures of our lives with our drone.önnen. 

What looked like sand dunes, river courses and savannahs from the ground turned out to be a complex work of art full of structures that are even more breathtaking to look at than the landscape itself. Even the life of the animals, which roam in huge herds over the land almost untouched by humans, is only revealed in its true extent from above. 

The view from the air shifts the image with which we perceive the world. Structures that we cannot recognise at all from our perspective can beöThe colours of the trees are transformed into shapes that often resemble the brushstrokes of an artist.

Photographs and shots taken with drones show a whole new angle that remains completely closed to photographers on the ground. This is exactly what makes this type of photography so fascinating. From a bird's eye view, landscapes with rivers or mountain ranges reveal themselves in an overwhelming way. The same applies, of course, to urban spaces, where man-made structures present themselves in a completely new way.

Drone photography in the advertising industry

Drone photography is not only a valuable tool for capturing special moments in landscape photography, but also for the presentation of companies, brands and events. In times of digitalisation, it is becoming increasingly important to present oneself online both authentically and diversely. Drone photography is a great approach to stand out from the crowd and give new customers an interesting insight into your own company - even from above. Company buildings or event locations are transformed into spatially comprehensible places that are tangible for customers through aerial shots. And let's be honest: a drone shot like this is not only incredibly chic, but also makes a powerful impression in advertising clips. 

If you take a close look at moving advertisements, you will notice that the world from above has become an integral part of the advertising industry. Advertisements for travel, retreats, events and services are increasingly taking hold. öfter to the new perspective from above.

Because of drones, aerial photography, which previously cost many thousands of euros, has suddenly become affordable for a broad population.

For whom is drone photography worthwhile?

Company 

For companies that have established themselves in their own location, a drone flight can be an exception.öThe video can also provide similar footage of the company building, which will later look good on the homepage. The opening of an introduction video of start-ups or individuals also makes for a real eye-catcher with drone photography and filming from above. 

Real estate agent

In addition to the actual property, the surrounding area is also of particular interest to the buyer. Where Google Maps does not provide much detail, drone photography can provide sharp images.öimages to provide an accurate overview.

Tour operator

As already illustrated by the example of Namibia: nothing beats the presentation of a destination from above. Crystal clear water with reefs, vast dune landscapes and cold seas with icebergs present new destinations in the best of all lights.

Our qualifications

Especially in the EU, the flying of drones is associated with a lot of rules and regulations that now severely limit the use of drones. For this purposeöCertain qualifications are required to be allowed to launch the drones in the first place, because even drones are not allowed to fly.öhe and flight area are strictly regulated in Germany. Erik is our drone pilot and qualified for both A1/A3 and A2 with his drone licence. This means that we can officially use drones weighing up to 25 kg with the best technologies. Add to that a trained eye, a skilled eye for great perspectives and many hours of flying experience.

We are therefore fully qualified to take extensive drone footage forr your nThe aim is to create a website for the next campaign or the renewal of your internet presence.
