🚁 CARMEL, INDIANA — FROM ABOVE 📍

If you’ve spent any time around Carmel, you’ve probably seen this water tower with its massive CARMEL lettering.

Hard to miss. Even harder from a few hundred feet up. 😂

I was recently out filming a commercial property in Carmel, Indiana and managed to grab some extra aerial footage of one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks.

Figured it deserved its own post!

🏙️ A little about Carmel…

Carmel has grown into one of Central Indiana’s most desirable places to live, work, and do business.

It’s home to over 100,000 residents, the popular Arts & Design District, the Monon Greenway, and of course… all those roundabouts.

From beautiful residential neighborhoods to major commercial developments, Carmel has a little bit of everything.

📸 That’s where Indy Drone Vision comes in.

Whether you’re a Carmel real estate agent getting ready to list a luxury home, a commercial broker marketing your next property, or a local business needing professional photography and video…

I can help capture it from a different perspective.

Same camera, different shooter. This time Carter Hobson-Hoagland took the Sony A7IV around our annual Conner Prairie trip during the Headless Horsemen festival.

These were my favorites, edited for your enjoyment.

🏭 BIG Buildings. Bigger Perspectives. 🚁

When you’re dealing with warehouses this size, ground-level photos can only show so much.

📍 Whiteland, Indiana | Just off I-65

Recently captured some professional aerial photography of this massive commercial warehouse, part of a much larger industrial and logistics development just south of Indianapolis.

And from the air, you really get a sense of how big these places are.

🚁 Why aerial photography matters for commercial real estate

With warehouses and industrial properties, it’s not just about the building itself.

It’s about showing the entire property.

✔️ Building size and overall layout
✔️ Loading docks, truck courts and parking areas
✔️ Access roads and nearby highways
✔️ Surrounding businesses and developments
✔️ The property’s location within the larger industrial park

For a property like this, being right off Interstate 65 is a major selling point. Easy access to Indianapolis and regional transportation routes is a big deal for logistics, distribution and warehouse operations.

📸 That’s where Indy Drone Vision comes in.

I work with commercial real estate agents, developers and property owners throughout Central Indiana to capture professional drone photography that actually shows what they’re trying to sell or market.

Whether it’s a small commercial building or a 200,000+ square foot distribution center, I can capture it from the ground and the air.

🍂 Some houses just fit the season.

Recently photographed this home in Historic Irvington, Indianapolis, and between the older architecture, mature trees and full autumn decor inside… this one definitely had a different feel to it.

🏡 Old Indy character

Irvington is full of homes you just don’t see being built anymore. Colonial Revival, Victorian, Tudor, Craftsman and other historic styles line the neighborhood’s winding streets.

Original details. Different layouts. Tons of character.

It makes photographing real estate over here a little more interesting because every house seems to have its own personality.

🎃 And Irvington + fall just makes sense.

The neighborhood was founded in 1870 and was actually named after Washington Irving — the author of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Butler University even called Irvington home from 1875–1928.

And of course, Irvington has been celebrating its famous Halloween Festival since 1947. 👻

So finding this particular home completely decorated for autumn felt pretty fitting.

Homes like this are exactly why real estate photography shouldn’t always look the same. Sometimes the character, age and atmosphere of the property ARE the selling points.

Two days of this weather has me missing summer already 😢

Shot this one back in peak summer at a million-dollar home here in Indiana.

🏊 Pool → hot tub → landscaping

The video starts with a drop straight down over the pool, pushes into the hot tub, then pulls back to show off the custom landscaping and full backyard.

This place looked too good from the air not to make it the focus.

🚁 Aerial video isn’t just for the house.

Pools. Landscaping. Outdoor living spaces. Acreage. Ponds. Property features. Or the entire home.

If it adds value to a property, I want to find the angle that shows it off.

Not every drone shoot is about real estate.

This year I was hired by a post-grad student to document a few bioswales on campus for her thesis — once in early spring, then again in late summer.

Bioswales are landscaped areas designed to collect and filter stormwater runoff, helping reduce flooding, pollution, and the amount of water entering storm drains.

The aerial perspective gave her a way to show how these areas changed throughout the year and provided useful visuals for both her thesis and presentations.

Just another example of how aerial photography can be used for a lot more than marketing a property.

There’s just something different about seeing a home in motion.

Recently shot this interior + exterior video tour for a listing at 1105 Brookside Ln in Plainfield, Indiana.

No crazy effects. No overdoing it. Just trying to capture the house the way it actually feels when you’re there — moving through the rooms, seeing how everything connects, then stepping outside and getting a feel for the entire property.

Photos are always going to matter in real estate. But video gives a buyer something photos can’t always give them — a sense of being there before they ever schedule a showing.

That’s what I’m trying to capture every time I walk into a new listing.

If you’re an agent around Indianapolis, Plainfield, or Central Indiana and want to give your next listing a little more life, let’s work.

Some projects are worth bringing back around. 🎥

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to film and produce this event video for GOODR during a stop in Indianapolis — on what had to be one of the coldest days of the year. 🥶

Despite the temperatures, the mission was worth showing up for.

GOODR is a hunger-relief and food-waste solutions company built around a simple idea: Feed More. Waste Less. Since its founding in 2017, GOODR has used technology and logistics to fight food insecurity while helping keep food out of landfills. Today, the company reports more than 35 million meals provided nationwide. (Goodr)

Their Mobile Grocery Store takes that mission directly into communities. The 26-foot mobile market is equipped with refrigerators, freezers and shelving and stocked with items like fresh produce, milk, eggs and pantry staples — giving people the opportunity to actually shop and choose their groceries at no cost, rather than simply receiving a pre-selected box. (Goodr)

For this Indianapolis event, my job was to capture more than just what happened. I wanted the finished video to tell the story of the people, the atmosphere, the GOODR team and the impact they were making here in our community.

That’s what strong corporate video should do.

Whether it’s a community activation, nonprofit initiative, company event or branded campaign, professional video gives businesses a way to turn one day of impact into a story that can continue working long after the event is over.

And yes… my hands eventually thawed out. 😂🎥
