Flying in Uptown takes planning. It's dense, it's busy, and the whole district sits in controlled airspace, so every flight starts with a LAANC authorization and a real look at the site before I launch. That's routine for me at this point. I've worked around all four wards enough to know where I can set up and what I need to account for.
What you get in return is imagery nobody can shoot from the ground. A tower crane against the skyline. A development site framed by the streets around it. Progress shots from the same position month after month, so the sequence tells a story. I plan it, fly it, and edit it myself.
Uptown sits inside my core Charlotte coverage, so getting here is easy. I also work the neighborhoods around the center city, plus South End, NoDa, and the rest of the metro.
