CONSTRUCTION & CIVIL ENGINEERING SITES

CONSTRUCTION & CIVIL ENGINEERING SITES

Construction companies and the civil engineering firms they work with often discover that capturing excellent drone images isn’t always as easy as it might seem! Or they quckly figure out that, even though someone in the crew got some decent aerial footage, it doesn’t even come close to what they’ve seen other companies capture, and they tend to get a little frustrated. That’s because, while they may have a company drone, no one on the crew knows what to do with the footage in post production. If this is the situation you find yourself in, or if you don’t even have a drone in the first place, get in touch and I will make your project look amazing. Promise.

Drone shoot for:

LARSON DESIGN GROUP
Owner: Employee Owned
Location: Headquarters in Corning, NY
The Larson Design Group is an architecture and engineering firm based in Corning, NY.

In the summer of 2025 their head of marketing reached out to me to do shoots in three locations: Watkins Glen, NY, Franklinville, NY and Corning, NY. They wanted me to capture imagery (strictly stills) of water/waste water treatment facilities they had been working with. Most of the subject matter I was to get were water holding tanks for the water treatment plants and aeration tanks and clarifying tanks for the wastewater facilities.

You can see some examples of the 3 drone shoots below.

Drone shoot for:

MENARD CONSTRUCTION
Owner: Corporate
Location: Headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA
In the summer of 2023 The Cayuga Health facility in Ithaca, NY was about to undergo a massive addition. The construction company in charge of the project was Menard Construction. Menard Construction is based in Pittsburgh, PA but the foreman that contacted me to take drone photos and videos on the progress of the site had an office in Syracuse, NY.

The morning of the shoot was very hot and ridiculously sunny. Furthermore it was close to the noon hour so the sun was almost directly overhead. Because of this, I used an ND filter durning the shooting. I was able to get some really good shots and the company was pleased with the work.
