Aerial photography and aerial videography are both thought of as valuable art. To many people, they are not just attractive pictures. There are a lot of aerial photos that are being used in magazines, business plans, even movie shots, etc. Photographers taking aerial photo need to have the right type of camera and they are usually major photography enthusiasts who either do it as a hobby or do it as a business. These photos can be sold for a pretty impressive amount of money.
There are different methods in taking aerial photo. You can use KAP or kite photography, in which a camera is related to kite flying, so you can have the most magnificent aerial shots. These kites are a cheap way to get magnificent stills and are usually only restricted by the weather. Photographers who use KAP are experienced in a way that they are able to take beautiful shots from any location or angle, by using a bit of physics to their advantage.
One other aerial photography method is balloon aerial photography or BAP. Instead of kites, the photographer taking aerial photo uses a strategy that involves balloons to take his camera in the sky. In the absence of winds, balloons can still be taken up in the sky, not like kites. However, it can become very challenging if the winds become too strong. Still, some find BAP easier than KAP, although that can really depend on the individual's preference and experience.

HAP or helicopter aerial photography is used by hiring a helicopter and taking either the video or the photo from the sky. This method is best used when creating a documentary or simply taking a video as it's drivable and it can be manoeuvred into different angles and locations. A lot of videographers and photographers hire choppers in taking their shots from the air as they have more control of the lucidity of their photographs or videos. Some use RCAP or remote controlled aerial photography, using a toy that is remote controlled in taking great shots from the air.
If you're the type of person who greatly appreciates pictures taken from the sky, now you know that it isn't such an easy job to get it done. It takes a lot of skill and patience to take the best shot and post it on the internet for everyone to see.
