Drone Photography and Videography for Companies

Professional drone photography in Oulu for businesses, construction sites, and real estate. Striking aerial photos and videos delivered safely and with proper permits

Drone photography brings a new perspective to your communications. Aerial photos and videos are perfect for construction site documentation, real estate showcases, events, and landscape photography.

Professional equipment and official certifications

I use DJI Mavic 4 Pro and DJI Air 3 drones, which produce exceptionally high-quality material in both photography and video. The equipment enables shooting in varying conditions — windy weather, low light and demanding environments.

I hold EASA and Traficom approved drone pilot certificates in categories A1/A3 and A2. This means I am authorised to fly closer to people and structures than basic licence categories permit. I handle all flight-related permits, notifications and safety assessments on your behalf — you don't need to worry about the bureaucracy.

Insurance is in order and I comply with aviation regulations without exception on every flight.

Where is drone photography used?

Aerial photography adds value to a wide range of projects. The most common applications include:

Construction site documentation — Regular aerial images at different project stages document progress and serve as proof of work quality. Aerial photos are invaluable in reporting to clients and investors.

Property presentations — Aerial images show a property's location, surroundings and true plot size in a way ground-level photos cannot. Especially useful when selling larger properties and plots.

Industrial sites and factory premises — The scale and layout of large industrial areas are best understood from the air. Aerial images work well in company presentations, annual reports and proposal materials.

Events — Aerial photos and videos add spectacle and scale to event coverage. Particularly effective for outdoor events, trade fairs and sporting events.

Landscape and environmental photography — Nature, waterways and landscapes from the air reveal views that would otherwise be impossible. Suitable for tourism and environmental communications.

Energy projects — Wind farms, solar installations and energy infrastructure documented from above. Aerial images illustrate the scope and completion stage of a project.

Agriculture — Fields, farmsteads and production buildings from the air. Aerial images are well suited for farm presentations and applications.

How a drone shoot works

Drone photography requires more advance preparation than a standard shoot. Permits, weather conditions and flight safety must be considered for every project.

Assessment and permits — I check the location, any flight restrictions and permit requirements. I verify whether the area has no-fly zones and submit the necessary flight notifications to authorities. This all happens behind the scenes — you don't need to worry.

Flight plan — I create a plan defining flight routes, camera angles and the optimal time of day. Sun direction and height significantly affect aerial image quality, so timing is planned carefully.

Weather monitoring — Drone photography is weather dependent. I actively monitor forecasts and we agree on a backup date in case conditions are unfavourable. Safety is never compromised for the sake of a schedule.

The shoot — On the shoot day, I perform safety checks and fly according to plan. A typical drone session lasts one to two hours depending on the site. I review the material on location to ensure sufficient coverage.

Post-production and delivery — I professionally edit the aerial photos and videos. Colour correction, stabilisation and editing ensure the material is ready to use as is.

Drone photographer in Oulu and Northern Finland

I have carried out aerial photography in Oulu and Northern Finland at construction sites, industrial areas, properties and events. I know the local flight regulations, weather conditions and the best shooting times across the seasons. The long summer days of the north offer excellent light for aerial photography, and winter's snowy landscapes give subjects a unique character. I also serve clients elsewhere in Finland.

Frequently asked questions about drone photography

What does a drone shoot cost?

The price comes from how large the site is and what material you need: photographing one property from the air is one job, following a building site over several visits or shooting aerials for a video production another. Tell me what the site is and how you plan to use the material, and you get a quote. The first conversation and the quote cost nothing.

  • Size of the site: A single building takes less time than a large plant area or repeated coverage of a building site.
  • Stills or video: Aerial stills, aerial video or both change the length of the shoot day and the amount of post work.
  • Location: I shoot across Finland, and outside Oulu travel and accommodation costs are added to the price.

Who takes care of the drone permits?

I take care of the permits, so there is nothing for you to check or apply for. I hold the A1/A3 and A2 remote pilot competency certificates approved by EASA and Traficom. Tell me where the site is when you book, and the permit side is sorted before the shoot day.

What happens if the weather stops the flight?

A backup day is agreed in advance for every drone shoot, so moving it does not turn into a hunt for a new slot. Weather affects both flight safety and image quality, and neither gets compromised just because the day is already on the calendar.

Can you fly over a factory or building site that is still operating?

It works, and production does not have to stop. We go through the safety side beforehand and the shooting time fits around production. From the air the whole area reads as one picture, and the flying does not get in the way of the work on the ground.

When are the aerial stills and videos delivered?

Edited aerial stills are delivered as a download link, typically within a week of the shoot. The schedule for aerial video is agreed when I quote the job, because editing time follows the amount of material. When something is urgent, faster delivery works if we agree on it.

  • Stills: JPEG both optimised for web use (sRGB) and in high resolution (AdobeRGB).
  • Videos: MP4, Full HD or 4K depending on where you use it.
  • Post-processing: Colour correction, highlight and shadow adjustment and finishing are included in the price.

How can you use the finished aerials?

You get the right to use the material in your own marketing and communications: website, social media, brochures, trade fairs and recruitment. The licence runs indefinitely and worldwide, and it is not exclusive. Under Finnish copyright law the copyright stays with me.

  • Passing them on: The licence is not transferable to a third party, and reselling or transferring rights needs a separate agreement.
  • Paid print advertising: Agreed separately.
  • Editorial use: The credit Kuva: Petteri Löppönen is added next to the image.
  • Portfolio use: I can use the images in my own portfolio.
