While both aerial and elevated photography can capture bird's-eye views of landscapes and surface-level objects, they are often used for different purposes depending on the specific context. Aerial photography is commonly used for purposes like surveying, mapping, environmental monitoring, real estate marketing, and film production due to its ability to cover large areas from the air. Elevated photography, on the other hand, is often used when access to airborne equipment is limited or unnecessary. It can be used for more controlled shoots, like capturing specific details of a building, event photography, or for shots where the photographer is on location but still needs a high vantage point, such as concert or sports event photography.
