What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Imagination! Seeing the image in my mind before I start to shoot and planning. Also, in no particular order: lighting, composition, exposure, aperture and shutter speed.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Location is the first important consideration when planning aerial photography. I would ask for a postcode to check street view imagery of the location and also manually cross reference this with flight charts, taking into account any nearby airports or flight restriction there might be. Secondly, what the client requires. I offer a bespoke service of aerial photography, videography, general photography and 360 panoramas. This would be asked so I can offer the services the client requires and also the equipment needed for the job. Thirdly what the intention of the client is regarding using the media, so I can get a good understanding of what the client aims for and plan accordingly. My last question would be if you have seen my website at https://hkas.online where you can find further information about why you should choose HKAS and get in touch.

Editing
At HKAS we have a simple philosophy
"Image editing is the manipulation of an image to achieve a desired result. The desired result can vary depending on the person doing the editing. What one person may consider a good edit, another may not. It’s all about personal preference and what looks good to you."
And it is with that in mind that we will liaise with you throughout the process to achieve your desired result using industry leading software and technology.
