1985
Company Formation

Back in 1985 the phrase High Level Photography was chosen to indicate that our photography was from elevated viewpoints and is of top quality. Our speciality was, initially, Highway CCTV surveys and commercial property photography, where the services were, and still are to this day, in constant demand.

“High Level Photography” has become a definitive name for photography from elevated viewpoints. Other terms or names for this service are:- elevated photos, elevated photography, elevated images, photo mast, aerial photography – although this last term is also used for aviation based photography.

2007
Change of Ownership

2007 saw a big change in the management of High Level Photography, Keith Hallam, founder of the company, decided to sell the business and retire to the far east. After some months of negotiations and handover the business was bought by Ian Leslie, the current Managing Director and shareholder, on the 11th October 2007. The business moved from Ripley, Surrey to a temporary base in White City, London, where it remained for nearly a year before moving to offices at Fairoaks Airport, Chobham, Surrey.

Expansion of Fleet and New Premises

2008 Saw High Level Photography Expanded it’s fleet from 2 Mast Vehicles to 3 Mast Vehicles, It also saw us move from White City in London to Fairoaks Airport, Chobham, Surrey. This move enabled us to get easier and quicker access to the motorway network (notwithstanding the Car Park that is the M25). The move also brought our plans to provide aerial photography services a step closer. Being in the middle of and airfield would enable to us execute our aerial photography plans in quicker time.
