Drone photography, aerial videos, or drone videography has become the most efficient way to ensure site monitoring, as a drone can take automated images from strategic positions. Architects often use drones for generating photographic views and developing their projects from different heights and angles. Drones can be used throughout the complete construction phase of architectural projects, from mapping the progress on-site as pictorial evidence.

Architectural photography is a genre of photography that focuses on capturing photographs of buildings or structures. Hence, it also involves photographing the interiors and exteriors of buildings, bridges, structures, and cityscapes.
