Mast Photography | Elevated Photography
This type of photography uses a camera mounted on a mast which can extend from just a few feet above the ground to 84 feet above the ground. It is also sometimes known as elevated photography or pole aerial photography (pap).
The resulting photographs show the subject that is being photographed rich in detail and are ideal for picking out specific buildings or areas of land. This type of photography also lends itself to aerial panoramas as well.
Even though the camera is high up in the air, it can still be controlled from the ground. The resultant photographs take on a 3 dimensional feel to them.
In Northern Ireland, the leading provider of mast photography / elevated photography is a company called Elevated Aspects.
Here are some examples of Elevated Aspect’s work.
