PARTNER INTERVIEW WITH SUBIACO PHOTOGRAPHY

Flying experiences are truly unforgettable and provide you with memories to last a lifetime. Imagine being able to capture the spectacular views up in the sky to treasure forever... Well look no further, our partner Subiaco Photography offer this unique experience. Subiaco Photography took some time to fill out one of our partner interviews about their fantastic business. So sit back, take a read and view their open door photography flight experience here. 

1. Let’s start with how Subiaco Photography began!

Subiaco Photography was started by Grant Duncan-Smith in 2007. Grant always had a love for aviation and aerial photography, so it was a great way to get up into the air.

2. Which city is your personal favourite to photograph from the sky out of Cape Town, Durban or Johannesburg and why?

Cape Town is a personal favourite of mine. Seeing Table Mountain and Cape Town Harbour is always special and completely unique from different heights and views. 

3. Describe your ‘Open Door Photography Flight’ in three words?

Exciting, Unique and Adventurous.

4. What would you advise for first time flyers who have a passion for photography, but might be apprehensive about an open door photography flight?

We operate a very different operation from similar worldwide open door experiences in that the aerial photographer is with you on the flight overseeing safety, you are securely strapped in and no feet, legs, items are allowed out of the  helicopter during the flight. All these factors massively increase the safety and mitigate the risks of the doors-off flight.

5. What do you think are the main benefits of photography flights when compared to taking photographs on the ground?

The patterns and shapes you see from the air and the unique and unseen angles you can capture.

6. What do you enjoy the most about running Subiaco Photography?

The variety of work, from ground-based photography to aerial photography via helicopter or drones.

7. Do you have any exciting plans for Subiaco Photography in the future?

We are looking to add more locations for the Open Door Helicopter Experiences in Africa and expand our drone network to the rest of Africa.
