Choosing the right aerial stock photo for your project can sometimes feel like being out in the bush without a compass. But don’t worry; we’re here to navigate this with you. When looking skyward for your next perfect image, keep the following tips in mind:

1. Consider the Purpose of Your Project:

  • Are you promoting a new business in Perth? An aerial shot of the cityscape can make a striking visual impact.
  • Are you highlighting the stunning West Australian coastline? Aerial images can capture the breathtaking natural beauty of our beaches.

2. Know Your Audience:

  • A bird’s eye view of the Swan River or the buildings of Perth CBD may resonate with Perth locals.
  • A sweeping view of Fremantle could captivate those interested in West Australia’s vibrant coastal city life.

3. Inspect Image Quality:

  • Aerial photos are impressive, but they need to be crystal clear.
  • Your images reflect your brand, so ensure they’re sharp and not pixelated.

4. Think About Image Orientation and Text Space:

  • If you plan to add text, select an image with enough clear sky or uniform background.
  • Make sure the image’s orientation fits your layout. A panorama image might be perfect for a website banner but less for a brochure.

Choosing the perfect aerial image might seem daunting, but it’s an art you can master. We offer top-notch aerial photos of Perth and the wider Western Australian region at Sky Perth. So, why not take a squiz at our collection?

Remember, the perfect image doesn’t just look good – it aligns with your message, resonates with your audience, and helps your project soar. Keep these tips handy when hunting for the perfect aerial stock photos.
