Horizon Imaging have continued to undertake property photography work over the last month, although the demand is much reduced as this is the quietest part of the year for new listings. That said, we recently had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful house nestling in a secluded rural location near Hindhead, Surrey.

Earlier in the year, Horizon Imaging was approached by the University of Surrey to cover their ‘Enterprise Summer School’ event which was being held at G-Live in Guildford, Surrey.

As well as taking photographs to capture the atmosphere of the event, the University also asked Horizon Imaging to produce a promotional video for their website, to give people a flavour of what the course has to offer. We were on site for an entire day, taking reportage-style photos and videos of the various activities that took place, as well as interviewing some of the attendees to hear what they thought of the event.

What do you do if you have an inaccessible roof that you need to photograph? Call in Horizon Imaging of course! We were recently commissioned to take some aerial inspection photographs of an industrial unit in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

The new tenant had just taken out a 15 year lease on the property, and he required an initial set of photographs detailing the condition of the roof so he had a record of the roof’s condition at the beginning of his tenancy.

Last month, Horizon Imaging was commissioned to produce a promotional video for specialist builders merchants, George Lines in Colnbrook, Berkshire. As well as capturing footage from around their yard and office, we also took a set of aerial photographs with our mast from a number of points around their site, and a set of photographs of all the products they stock.

Horizon Imaging was recently commissioned to take some aerial photographs using our drone in and around the Madejski Football Stadium in Reading, Berkshire. The brief was to capture aerial photographs which exactly matched computer-generated (CG) views created by visualisation experts, Realm Communication. The resulting images (having combined the CG images and aerial photographs) would then be used to advertise the proposed regeneration scheme for the Stadium and the surrounding area, known as ‘Royal Elm Park’.

Horizon Imaging was recently commissioned to take a set of aerial photographs of a large and complex scaffolding installation at St Joseph’s Church in Chalfont St. Peter, Buckinghamshire.

As the installation was so vast, the only way to truly appreciate its size and complexity was from the air. As the site was bounded on three sides by roads it was not possible to use the drone, so our fully-portable telescopic mast was used instead. The site was photographed three times over the course of a month to document the erection of the complicated scaffolding skeleton. During each visit elevated photographs were taken from every corner of the site so the progress of each section of the project could be easily seen.

Horizon Imaging’s Director, David Hogg, was recently interviewed on his local radio station ‘Surrey Hills Radio’, by Mike Sharp during his show ‘Reflections – Hits from the 50s 60s and 70s’ – not a period David is familiar with it has to be said, as he was born in the 80s!

Horizon Imaging was recently commissioned to take some mast aerial photographs to support a planning complaint against a building extension in London.


Apparently the wrong type of roofing tile was used during the construction of the extension, and there was concern from the local planning office that the building would look out of place in its surroundings.

Horizon Imaging was recently commissioned to take some aerial photographs to show how close a new housing development is to the sea-front in the pretty coastal village of Prinsted, Hampshire. Whilst the sea cannot easily be seen from the site itself, the developer, Junnell Homes, were keen to illustrate that the development was within easy walking distance of the harbour – and what better way to do this than with a drone aerial photograph!

A recent news story has highlighted the need for any and every drone operator to ‘think before they fly’ as a drone pilot from Manchester gets handed a £1800 fine (and £600 in costs) and a two-year ban on ‘purchasing, owning or using’ a drone.
