Professional aerial filming / France & Switzerland
Des prises de vues aériennes préparées selon le terrain et la réglementation, pour vos films d'entreprise, projets touristiques, événements, biens immobiliers et contenus outdoor.
A different perspective
I use it to make a place easier to understand, reveal its scale, create breathing space in the edit and produce footage that works across your communication channels.
An aerial shot immediately establishes a lake, mountain, estate, industrial site, construction project, hotel, event or destination. It gives viewers a perspective that ground footage cannot always provide.
Dans un film corporate, immobilier ou touristique, le drone permet de changer d'échelle et de mieux situer le lieu.
Tracking shots, reveals, controlled flyovers, slow descents or FPV lines: every movement is chosen to support the edit.
Weather, safety, populated areas, the nature of the site and required permissions are checked before filming, avoiding last-minute surprises on the shoot.
Aerial footage can be used in a main film, vertical edits, social media teasers or campaign content.
Applications
Show a site, its architecture, an industrial activity or a construction project. Aerial footage can also establish a location at the start of a brand film or corporate interview. For premium properties, explore my real estate photo, video and drone production.
Filmer un territoire, une course, un événement outdoor, un lancement touristique ou une expérience en pleine nature, avec des plans qui donnent une vraie lecture du lieu.
Safety & permissions
As a drone pilot registered with the French DGAC, I prepare each flight around the location, weather, regulations and safety constraints. Where required in France, permit applications are handled in advance.
In Switzerland, every project is assessed individually according to the location, local restrictions, safety conditions and any required permissions. The aim is simple: create strong images without promising a flight that cannot be carried out.
Field experience
It is a real pleasure working with Laurent on demanding shoots such as La Saharienne in Costa Rica or Dragons in the Camargue. He is a talented videographer and drone pilot, highly professional and always reliable, even in difficult conditions.
Drone project
This film was not shot locally. It shows how I work with landscape, light, relief and camera movement to make aerial footage that is easy to read and cinematic without feeling overdone.

Annecy, Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux, Chambéry, Thonon-les-Bains and Évian-les-Bains: every location requires its own planning, light assessment and permissions.
Process
Film objective, audience, locations, delivery formats and schedule constraints.
Airspace review, weather, safety, permissions and shot planning.
4K capture, controlled flight paths and coordination with ground filming where required.
Main film, short edits, vertical formats, colour grading and exports adapted to each channel.
Budget
Le temps de vol n'est qu'une partie du budget. Le prix dépend aussi du lieu, des contraintes de sécurité, des autorisations, du tournage et des livrables attendus.

I am Laurent Henry, an independent videographer and drone pilot. I combine location planning, ground filming, aerial footage and editing to produce films that are practical, visually strong and ready to use.
I use drone footage when it genuinely adds something to the film: establishing a location, revealing a site, opening up the edit, following sporting action or raising the production value of a project.
Yes. I am registered as a professional drone pilot with the French DGAC. Each flight is planned around the regulations, location, weather, safety constraints and required permissions.
Some locations require specific applications, particularly in built-up areas, near sensitive infrastructure or on regulated sites. When necessary, these are handled before the shoot.
Yes, but every project in Switzerland is assessed individually. The location, safety conditions, environment, airspace and required permissions all determine whether a flight is feasible.
Drone footage can be included in a main film, delivered as short edits, adapted into vertical social formats or supplied as an aerial footage library for campaigns.
Oui. Je peux réaliser une captation drone seule. Dans beaucoup de projets, les images aériennes fonctionnent toutefois mieux avec des plans au sol, des interviews et un montage complet.
Oui. Les prises de vues sont étalonnées puis livrées dans les formats prévus pour le web, les réseaux sociaux ou la diffusion événementielle.
Drone flights depend heavily on wind, rain and visibility. If conditions compromise safety or image quality, the flight is adapted, rescheduled or replaced with another filming approach.
The quote depends on the location, planning time, permissions, filming duration and required editing. After an initial discussion, I send an estimate based on how the footage will actually be used.
I mainly work across Switzerland and France, including Annecy, Thonon-les-Bains, Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux and Chambéry, subject to regulations and weather.
