Although specialising in low level aerial photography using a selection of mast and remote controlled equipment, all aspects of archaeological photography are covered, utilising a variety of techniques for detailed, high quality imagery; small finds, stratigraphy, excavations, landscapes, historic buildings and ancient monuments.

Aerial Photography using traditional Aircraft, Aerial-Cam (Land Rover mounted 22m mast), Mast-Cam (Tri-Frame mounted for building interiors) and Pole-Cam (Hand held mast for walking surveys). 3D Modelling from photographic imagery and other specialist photographic and software techniques are at the forefront of his research. It is his mission to elevate the standard of archaeological photographic recording and bring the evidence of our past to new audiences.

Adam has worked on many projects around the world, most notably the Stonehenge Riverside Project and on Easter Island for the Rapa Nui Landscapes of Construction Project.

We use remote controlled camera systems with full control of the camera and a view through the lens at ground level, this enables client input during the capture process if required.

The Aerial-Cam service is a safe, low-cost and accurate method of low-level aerial photography with a wide variety of applications. Mounted on a 4x4 vehicle the mast and cameras can be positioned with ease for optimum image results.

We use the latest Nikon professional DSLR cameras coupled with specialist equipment and techniques to capture very high quality images equivelant or better than Medium Format.

Aerial-Cam is available for commissions UK wide and on special expeditions and projects around the world.
