With over 25 years of aerial photography experience, I deliver razor-sharp, detail-rich images that go far beyond what drones can achieve. Whether it’s from 2 metres or 2,000 feet, my elevated mast system and aircraft photography produce premium results that developers, councils, and commercial clients can rely on.
From planning documentation and marketing visuals to archive-grade imagery, I capture what matters — with precision, consistency, and a critical eye honed over decades behind the lens.
No gimmicks. Just uncompromising quality.
I’m Simon Burchett — a commercial aerial photographer with over 25 years behind the lens, capturing towns, coastlines, construction sites, and landscapes from the sky and the ground. My work isn’t about gimmicks — it’s about precision, clarity, and seeing what others miss. I’ve photographed from Cessnas, used 26-metre mast systems, and worked with everyone from councils to developers to collectors who simply want a piece of their past.I bring a press photographer’s instinct, an artist’s eye, and a stickler’s attention to detail — because when you're shooting from 2,000 feet or 20 feet, it’s all in the detail.
