Drone video, a.k.a, aerial cinematography, is the best way to achieve affordable bird's view footage of an event or commercial.

Until recently, when organizations wanted an aerial video of their business, they had to hire a helicopter, or a photographer had to climb the highest roof to cover the business. Nowadays, drones are the best approach when it comes to aerial photography.

The technological evolution has created an opportunity for aerial cinematography. To start a drone photography business, get your drone flying license, buy a basic drone and camera, and create your aerial cinematography profile.

In this list, you'll find real-world drone photography business success stories and very profitable examples of starting a drone photography business that makes money.
