Photographing Interiors for Architects, Designers, and Real Estate Professionals

  I photograph quite a bit of commercial and industrial properties for brokers. I love what I do, and thats just one of many aspects of my business. However, it is a joy, and refreshing change when I am able to photograph a well designed, beautifully furnished residential home.

  All the concrete and steel of an industrial project can "wear" on my shutter, and just doesn't have the warmth, character and charm of cozy sitting area. Again I love every aspect of my job and the diversity of my clients - but who would want to leave this when the camera and lights are packed away?

Dallas Commercial Property Photography

High end offices from ground level
In the Commercial Real Estate market, there is two ways to market a property, focus on the property itself, or focus on what a prospective tenant will benefit from (surroundings) by considering the specific property.

The smart brokerages/agents will market BOTH of these angles. There is no shortage of commercial property in North Texas, and no shortage of positive aspects for each one either. Putting together a brochure that highlights both is a MUST to stand out.  Why not obtain those images from one stop?

Jason Jones / TX Aerial Photography will deliver those images for you. As one of the top aerial photographers in the country, I have always leveraged my decades of aviation and FAA industry contacts to maximize your dollar. I can successfully photograph properties that are too close to major airports, too rural, or just not appealing to other aerial photographers who only dabble in this for a few shoots a year.

Aerial Photography in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan has been one of my primary skills/careers since I started in business.  My reputation is on the line, just as yours is - So I always deliver top quality images, NOT excuses.

If your business could benefit, or currently utilizes aerial photography and survey images, give me / TX Aerial Photography a call. Learn how we can take your images to the next level.

Servicing commercial brokers, real estate agents, construction, golf course, land and ranch, civil engineering, insurance, oil and gas, and any other industry that needs aerial images.

UAV / RCMA / Drone Photography... Not the "evil" you might have heard.


 Almost everyone these days has heard the term "drone" or UAV as it is associated with law enforcement or military operations.  Increasingly, these vehicles have started occupying the skies, and there is a LOT of misconceptions and legislation in the works regarding their use.

    I think we can all agree that their use should be regulated to prevent invasions of privacy, like unauthorized / unconstitutional surveillance by govt. entities, paparazzi, and criminals using them for nefarious tasks (voyeurs, planning crimes, etc..). However like any tool or object, there are good uses for such devices. These uses typically are overshadowed by the very limited number of bad implementations.

    As an aerial photographer, I have clients with a property that would not allow ideal images from a traditional aircraft that cannot fly as low or as close as a UAV, such as being surrounded by much taller buildings on all sides. Another extremely common use for these in my field is indoor photography of large buildings from elevated positions, such as a massive production facility/warehouse.  Theres a high demand for the use of UAV's and drones in agriculture too. Instead of spending the fuel and airtime for a small manned craft to survey 1000 acres of crops, you can do it cheaper in relatively the same time with a UAV.

    Realtors are probably the one industry that would benefit the most from positive legislation regarding the use of UAV's / Drones for Aerial photography. Being able to inexpensively take some elevated point of view images of larger homes or homes on land without some of the added cost and time consumption a traditional flight requires, makes their marketing more effective, and unique.

    When you hear of knee jerk or feel good legislation regarding unmanned aerial photography or UAV's / Drones in the news, voice your opinion to your representatives, but keep in mind there is a huge industry of honest, well intentioned photographers, cinematographers and surveyors counting on citizens to see the good in this technology.

Aerial Property Photography

One of things I have been really busy with lately is aerial property photography.

I have always had a passion for aviation, and what my wife once considered a costly hobby, has now proven to be a VERY valuable service (that's surprisingly inexpensive) to my clients.

The popularity of small crafts like the Cessna Skyhawk (pictured left), has greatly reduced the cost of aerial photos. With my contacts in the aviation industry, I can leverage this cost savings to provide quality photography of your property or event, from a position that your competition does NOT have the advantage of.

This service is especially popular for real estate agents and brokers, who list large homes on acreage, or commercial properties that are located near major highways, airports or other amenities that are desirable to potential buyers. Golf courses, amusement parks and large distribution centers are just some of the other property types that benefit from aerial photography. Just being able to show the surrounding land, structures, attractions, or overall image of the complete property is invaluable to getting a serious buyer to contact you about your listing.

Also, depending on the property, I can show location, proximity to desirable features, and breathtaking office views by simply going to the roof, or working with adjacent building facilities management for access to their roof or mezzanine. When this is an option, it is very cost effective and can provide images as stunning as aerials without some of the associated costs. 

If you are listing commercial buildings, land, or marketing services in major cities, you owe it to your bottom line to explore aerial photography of these properties. Contact Jason Jones Photography for a quote to fit your needs and budget.
