Welcome to the web site of specialist European aerial photographers Lightbox Aerial Photography Manchester, operating from City Airport Manchester, formerly Barton Aerodrome, utilising dedicated Cessna 172 fixed-wing aircraft, equipped with GPS for accurate site location and identification from the air, and fully qualified instrument-rated commercial pilots. We shoot on state-of-the-art high-resolution digital camera equipment, producing images which can be reproduced in any printed media at any size, and we can advise on all technical and creative aspects of producing succesful digital aerial images. We cover Greater Manchester, Liverpool & Merseyside, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cumbria, Derbyshire, and the whole of Northern and North West England, the Midlands, and Wales, on a regular basis, and further afield by arrangement.
