Full-Service Construction Photographer, Marketing and Documentation

Our clients have seen the benefit of documenting the hard work that leads to a successful project. Regardless of whether you’re trying to keep investors happy, mitigate your liability, or market your project as well as your business, hiring an experienced construction photographer will help you accomplish your goals. We bring it all together under one full service production house using time-lapse, video, photos, drone footage, helicopter aerials, virtual tours, and more. We then package it all together in an easy-to-use format that does much of your marketing work for you.

Progress Photos

Documenting a project with all of today’s capabilities equates to more than just still images. We do periodic site visits that can be embedded within interactive google maps, layered by date so you can zoom in and interact with the project throughout the duration. This allows you to not only see the progress, but also use the software to measure distances, measure volume of rock or soil, see elevation changes, and much more. All of this is contained within the layers that are dated over time, you will have the ability to move through the timeline and progress. We take great care to document large scale commercial projects. We have also done many federal projects and government contracts. This includes documentation of seismic refits, power line replacements, warehouse builds, FAA radar upgrades, university campus expansions, and more.

   

Long term time lapse

Nothing is more effective at conveying the full scope of a project than seeing the entire months-long process happen in a two or three minute video. We build and manage our own custom camera rigs and use them to get the best footage of your project from day one. Time-lapse photos can be converted to videos in whatever time span and format you desire. People find this useful for many different reasons, such as being able to check in on the project, monitor progress, or keep stakeholders in the know. Videos can include music, audio, text and motion graphics, and all done in a brand consistent package that we create to match your marketing needs before we get started. The end product is produced, packaged, and delivered in a format that you can be confident is ready to use for business, marketing, public outreach, or investor meetings. Capturing time-lapse is an exceptional way to make your project stand out. Look at our Cascade Camera Works YouTube channel for more construction photography, time lapse and video content. 



Drone photography

Drones provide a versatile way to capture unique and complete views of project sites. Not only have we been providing aerial photos and video since 2008, we recently added heavy lift drone capability.  Additionally, embedded GPS coordinates allow for incredible precision to shoot from the same location repeatedly, or to overlay images onto a map. In addition, flying indoors is now possible in large warehouses, office or retail complexes. Drone footage is fully stabilized without the “fish eye” lens look.  Nick Grier Photography is a full service production company and can create any marketing content you might need. Furthermore, we only deliver high quality content, utilizing the highest quality professional camera systems, with the highest attention to detail.

Aerial Drone mapping

Aerial drone mapping is much more than just a beautiful photo that encompasses the whole project. This can also utilize the standard surveying grids along with the drone imagery. By aligning the drone imagery with your actual survey points you can see the view from above in photo realistic quality as you are planning out your project. This can help developers, surveyors and engineers as they decide where to build and route utilities and see where they may run into conflicts. Hiring and experienced construction photographer that is familiar with utilizing drones and all available technology can be a huge advantage. Drones capture stunning views and allow everything to be seen in context of the surroundings and access points. All of this can be delivered as a single file with the data and information embedded with GPS location, photos, and mapping. Everything you need in an easy to navigate format. This is an accessible technology that comes at a much lower price point than helicopter footage.
