Oblique vs Vertical Aerial Views

We can help you determine if you need oblique or vertical aerial views. We often provide clients with a combination. Contact Us for information.

Oblique Photography is taken from the side of the aircraft at an angle to the subject rather than from directly overhead. SkySite has specialized in oblique aerial photography for many years. We know what questions to ask you in order to be sure we capture images that show exactly what you want to see.

Vertical Photography is taken from directly above the subject, looking straight down. SkySite is one of the few aerial photography companies in North Carolina that provides "true vertical photography" in both 35mm digital and 9”x9” film formats. 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.
