| Steve charters a helicopter out of San Francisco at least twice a month for assignments in the Greater Bay area. Twice a year he flies projects in the greater Los Angeles area and in the fall he photographs hospitals, campuses and solar projects in the New York metropolitan area.
The beauty of a helicopter is that there are no altitude restrictions. This makes it possible to fly at extremely low altitudes where roofscapes can be minimized and the horizon line can be seen. This 30+- degree angle is what architects love to render when they are visualizing future buildings. Many of Steve's aerial images look like architectural models and it's always fun when clients remark about the resemblance to their drawing. Designers also enjoy seeing their work "in plan" so a sharp crank of the helicopter puts him in a straight down postion for another perspective.
A client always gets the full digital shoot presented on a CD. The CD includes the entire motor-drive session of high resolution jpeg files that decompress to 34 mb tiff files in a graphic's program such as Photoshop. There will be a minmum 24 various angles and altitudes. Editing is done sparingly by Proehl Studios so the client may do his or her own edit of all outtakes.
All assignments are treated as speculation. Clients are encouraged to submit site information (circle your site on http://www.maps.google.com and then contact steve@proehlstudios.com ). Next time we fly near that site we will photograph it and send you an email where you may preview the work along with an offer. | |
