Welcome to the aerial views website of Sami Sarkis, a professional photographer/director based in the city of Marseille in Provence, France.

 

For aerial images of Provence, PACA or worldwide, we offer an experienced, comprehensive service tailored to your needs and your budget.

We use various airborne methods to take our aerial shots including a Cessna aircraft, helicopter, microlight and tandem paragliding. We have just expanded our resources to include a UAV multi-rotors, which gives us a much greater latitude of action and expands creative possibilities.


Our aerial imagery offer is fully comprehensive and includes much more than just capturing aerial images. We can do as much or as little as you require - it's all up to you. See the full range of our services below.

Based in Provence, France, Sami Sarkis brings the sharp, experienced eye of a photographer/filmmaker to every aerial shot he takes. Sami has a deep knowledge of the best sites for your shots. He knows the best locations, the most beautiful angles and when the light will be perfect to capture stunning aerial images throughout the year. Sami also has various audio-visual tools and different ways to capture the best high-angle view.

 

 

Sami and his team do much more than just offer a short meeting at the airfield. They can deliver an end-to-end service from a genuine dialogue early in the process to fully identify the project through to sign-off and beyond. This complete service means Sami delivers the very best results for you, your business and your clients.  

Aerial filming and photography is beautiful and compelling. But it’s the procedures used to obtain those fabulous aerial images that sets Sami Sarkis apart from his competition. To ensure the very best results, Sami has surrounded himself with a team of aviation professionals, specialists in helping to capture aerial images. Each one plays a key role in making sure your aerial shoots are productive, creative and deliver outstanding results!

Since each mission requires a detailed study, every parameter has a direct influence on the solution, result and the final cost. Hence our comprehensive approach. You decide if you want us only to go and capture just the unique aerial images you are seeking or whether you want us to do more, both before and after the aerial shoot.

 

Our bespoke services include:

 

  • Study of your project
  • Production / Shooting
  • Editing / Retouching / 360° VR panoramas
  • License our stock photos at discounted rates

 

You decide how far you want us to go!

 

 

 In brief we mainly use three kinds of crafts for aerial imagery: 

 

  • The electric drone: non-polluting, quiet, discreet and inexpensive. Easy and quick implementation. Dedicated to shoot at a low altitude <150m, able to perform fluid and complex camera movements in the most inaccessible places. Small radius of action at every takeoff. Maximum range 15 minutes per flight.
  • The high-wing airplane, Cessna: Altitude > 150m. Very large radius of action. Large amount of images possible with a single flight. Multiple remote sites flown in hours or minutes. Maximum range = 5 hours per flight. Speeds reaching up to 200 kms/h with about as low as 100 kms/h while shooting. Reasonable price compared to its capabilities.

  • The mono-engine helicopter: reserved for places that are unreachable by the cheapest means, especially in urban areas and/or areas with low clearance space. The helicopter is very useful for stationary high altitude flights > 150m or for flying very low (close to land). To be used occasionally for short periods (1 hour) or for large budgets.

 

Finally, remember that we focus our aerial photography service on air safety, quality and budget.

Aerial photography does not have to be expensive. Contact us today - you will be pleasantly surprised!
