Paying for photos
is not owning them.

Under US copyright law the photographer owns the images unless there is a written assignment. So we write down exactly what you get — a licence with its scope, or an assignment — before the shoot rather than after you try to use them.

What we shoot

Four services, two things settled first

Airspace and image rights are both resolved in writing before a camera comes out.

How it works

How we work

Check airspace before quoting, fly only under a valid certificate and authorization, state image rights in writing before the shoot, obtain releases where people appear, and refuse edits that would misrepresent a property.

Including an airspace check for anything aerial.

Rights in writing

Licence scope and term, or an assignment, agreed first.

Shot properly

Or stood down, if conditions or airspace say so.

Delivered with terms

So nobody is guessing what they may use.

How we work

A studio that writes the rights down first

DN360VISUALS LLC is a Florida limited liability company with document number L19000222521 on public record with the Florida Division of Corporations, formed in 2019. The work is 360 virtual tours, interior and exterior photography, video, and aerial imagery for real estate, hospitality and commercial clients.

Two things get settled before a shoot. Aerial work for commercial purposes requires an FAA remote pilot certificate, registered aircraft, Remote ID and, in controlled airspace, authorization obtained in advance; we fly certificated or not at all, and a client should know that commissioning an uncertificated operator creates exposure for them as well. And under US copyright law the photographer owns the images from the moment of creation unless there is a written assignment or a written work-made-for-hire agreement — so paying for a shoot does not, by itself, give a client the right to use the images however they wish. We state the licence scope, term, territory and media, or the assignment, before work begins. We also decline edits that would misrepresent a property.

Frequently asked

The questions we get most

I paid for the photos. Do I not own them?

Not automatically, no, and this surprises almost everyone. Under US copyright law the author owns the copyright from creation, and it passes to a client only by written assignment or under a written work-made-for-hire agreement. What you usually get is a licence. We write down the scope, term, territory and permitted media before the shoot, so you know exactly what you may do with the images.

Can you just fly the drone quickly? It is only ten minutes.

Only if we hold a valid certificate for it and, in controlled airspace, authorization has been obtained. Commercial drone operation requires a Part 107 remote pilot certificate, registration and Remote ID. If authorization has not come through we will not fly, because an unlawful flight also creates exposure for the person who commissioned it, and the imagery may be unusable.

Can you take out the telephone pole and swap the sky?

Colour and exposure, yes. Removing structural features, deleting a pole, replacing a view or compositing a sky and presenting it as the actual outlook, no. Those edits misrepresent the property, can breach listing service rules, and tend to surface at the viewing. Virtual staging we will do and we will label it as virtual staging.

Our franchise network wants to use the video. Can they?

Only if the licence covers it, which is exactly why we write the scope down. Third party use, including a portal, franchisor or network, is a common point of friction because the client reasonably assumed a single fee covered everything. Tell us at the quoting stage where the material will end up and we will scope the licence for it.

There were people in the shot. Is that a problem?

It can be. Where identifiable individuals appear we obtain a release or we do not include them, and for interiors we need the authority of whoever is entitled to give it. Tenants in occupation are the usual complication, and it is better handled before the shoot than by cropping afterwards.

Can you shoot tomorrow regardless of the weather?

We will try and we may stand down. For aerial work, weather, airspace and proximity to people are safety and legal constraints rather than preferences, and the decision not to fly is not negotiable against a schedule. We would rather reschedule than produce something while cutting a corner that matters.
