Drone photography
Drone photos for businesses, real estate and hotels
Drone photography by a certified drone photographer
Need drone photos of your business, property, hotel or project? Drone Chiefs is your drone photographer across the Netherlands, based in Utrecht. Drone photography starts from €750; real estate, hotel or resort photography costs €950.
We fly in the Specific category under our own authorisation from the Dutch aviation authority ILT (NLD-OAT-041-05G). That lets us photograph where a regular drone isn't allowed: inside the CTR around an airport, in the port, above the city and in the evening. See our photo portfolio for examples.
How we make our drone photos
We shoot most photos with the DJI Mavic 4 Pro. It has a Hasselblad camera with a 100-megapixel 4/3 sensor, plus two telephoto cameras of 48 and 50 megapixels for sharp detail from further away.
With exposure bracketing (AEB) we capture both a bright sky and dark shadows. When a project asks for more, we shoot with the DJI Inspire 3: full-frame, 45 megapixels and interchangeable lenses.
You receive the photos edited and in high resolution, as JPG or RAW (DNG).
What are drone photos used for?
• Real estate and luxury villas: the property, the garden and the location
• Hotels and resorts: the grounds and surroundings
• Business premises: for your website, recruitment, letting or sale
• Construction projects: progress photos from the same viewpoint each time
• Events and festivals: the site, the stages and the crowd
• Yachts and maritime: the vessel in its surroundings
Want video as well? We can do both during the same flight. Read more about drone video production.
