Portraits and Studio work
Flycam Studio started back in 1987, over the years we have been at most of the Balloon Meets and Air Shows in the UK. We don't just do Aerial work, we also attend other events from County Shows to Local Events. In 1993 we moved in to doing Studio based photographic work as well. For example Portraits and Portfolio's. As well as doing work for calendars, postcards and local company's. We teamed up with Balloon Meet Support Services Ltd in 1998 to offer a greater choice of services to different events and clients.
We can offer photos to help with your event or we can take photographs for your event. Below are just some of the images taken over previous years. If you would like assistance with your event please contact us for an informal discussion of your requirements.
Balloon Meet Support Services Ltd
Ballooning is a very specialised activity relying not just on weather conditions but also on the rules of aviation governed by the Civil Aviation Authority and the goodwill of landowners where balloons touch down.
While spectacular, mass launches of hot air balloons involve particular planning, safety considerations and sometimes a ‘flying competition’ so specialist knowledge is required to organise these at public displays.
Run by Peter Gray Balloon Meet Support Services Limited was formed in 1998 to help event organisers manage the participation of hot air balloons at shows throughout the UK and has established a reputation within the ballooning fraternity for well organised events that demonstrate the importance of a good working relationship with balloon pilots and landowners.
Balloon Meet Support Services Limited also offers a range of items of ballooning memorabilia for sale to the public and a personal photographic service to event organisers and pilots.
