The term "Vertical Photography" refers to views taken from directly above the subject. SkySite is one of the few aerial photography companies in North Carolina that provides "true vertical photography", which means our camera is mounted to the floor of the aircraft and the images are captured through a camera port at a 90 degree angle to the ground.

These overhead views are used by attorneys, engineers, and people who work in real estate who need to see roof tops and road structures. These views are not meant to give a sense of height of structures as oblique views do. But rather, they allow you see in all directions around a site to view neighboring properties and to assess the shape and layout of a property.

We fly as high or as low as we need to in order to capture the area that you need to see.
