Horizon Imaging is excited to announce the launch of a completely new service alongside our Architectural, Mast and Drone Aerial Photography services – Interactive Virtual Tours.

Built on David’s experience in producing High Dynamic Range images for his Architectural Photography clients and capturing panoramic images using specialised panorama equipment in his spare time, Horizon Imaging’s interactive Virtual Tours allow the user to immerse themselves in a beautifully realistic virtual world. You can jump between different locations using ‘hotspots’ and engage with fully-interactive virtual content such as localised sound effects, audio narration, embedded images, videos and overview maps.

Horizon Imaging was recently commissioned to produce a short 2-3 minute commercial showreel for Blue Bear Systems Research.

Producing the video involved visiting the customer’s site to shoot some specific new footage, as well as sifting through Gigabytes of existing footage to accumulate enough material to produce the showreel.

David Hogg from Horizon Imaging recently gave a presentation to the Guildford Photographic Society on Drone Aerial Photography.

As a previous member and speaker at the Guildford Photographic Society, it was a pleasure to return to the club and update the members on the developments in Drone Aerial Photography since my last talk back in 2008 – a great deal has changed in the industry in those 6 years!

Horizon Imaging was recently commissioned to photograph a beautiful converted 13th Century barn in the village of Ickleton, near Cambridge. The barn, together with one of the neighbouring ‘modern barns’, is now being used by medical technology company Team Consulting. As part of their brand identity, Team Consulting were looking for ways to show off their beautiful building and its proximity to the surrounding countryside – something which could not be achieved using traditional ground-level photographs.

As the number of people looking to offer commercial aerial photography services using drones (or “small unmanned surveillance aircraft” to give them their official CAA title) continues to rise, I often get asked what regulations operators have to follow.

All the regulations governing commercial “aerial work” (any work involving unmanned aerial platforms for commercial gain) are contained within the CAA document ‘CAP 393 – Air Navigation: The Order and the Regulations’.

Horizon Imaging was recently commissioned to produce an introductory video for the commercial troubleshooting company, Executive Commercial.


Just like the introductory video on our homepage, the video had to be short, concise, and professionally filmed and edited.

Aerial Photography using unmanned model helicopters or ‘drones’ is becoming the next big differentiator in marketing campaigns, and with a growing number of companies offering these low-altitude Aerial Photography services, how do you know who to choose?

Climate change is happening, there is very little doubt about that these days. However, whilst governments and industry are trying to do their bit to reduce the effects, it is just as much the responsibility of small business owners – and the general public – to do their bit to reduce their impact on the environment in whatever ways they can.

Horizon Imaging recently contacted the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) to see if they would be interested in featuring an article about the fascinating developments in aerial photography using unmanned aerial platforms over the last 10 years, and how David Hogg’s early experiments back in 2006 eventually led to the creation of Horizon Imaging.

As part of Horizon Imaging’s commitment to only using the best technology for capturing our aerial photographs, we have recently invested in a brand new aerial photography platform, the ‘Octocopter’. Compared to our current ‘Hexacopter’, this platform will:
