Daily work is mainly made up of location and studio photography as well as video, both from the ground and in the air, in addition to pipeline and power line photography and surveillance.

In addition to aerial photography a specialist ground photographic service to the Construction Industry is available. With over 20 years experience in this field Peter Smith has assembled an enviable client list. His work encompasses progress photography through to glossy brochure work of completed sites and projects, and these range from giant crane lifts to night time motorway construction shoots. A recent major project, lasting almost 4 years, has been for Yorkshire Water during their construction of a large tunnel underneath Kingston-upon-Hull. Work undertaken on this scheme included recording almost every major step from the original route-planning aerial video, through to underground photography and video of the work in progress. To achieve this safely Peter underwent confined spaces training, essential for working underground and in hazardous environments. Naturally all safety clothing is carried to enable a full range of work to be undertaken in a variety of industries, which include gas and oil exploration
as well as pipeline construction.
