Sascha Schernthaner A.V. Pictures

Commissions

Commissioned work, for me, usually means getting to the vantage point nobody else has.

For tourism boards, hotels, municipalities, companies and editorial desks — out of Lienz, across Austria and northern Italy.

I photograph and film, from the ground and from the air. The subject decides which: some of it needs the drone, much of it only needs the right lens and enough time.

Tourism & hospitality

Landscape photography for tourism boards, hotels inside and out — with the camera on the ground as much as from the air. For a region it is worth having material across several seasons, so that not every brochure shows the same summer afternoon.

Drone — outside and inside

Outside: buildings, sites, landscape, property. Inside: a single unbroken flight through a church, a hall, a hotel lobby or a production floor. Exteriors nearly everyone shoots by now — the interior flight is the one people pass on.

Events & concerts

Concerts, company events, openings — photographed and filmed, usually in available light. For the Sinfonieorchester Lienz there is visual accompaniment as well: images running during the concert, not only photographs afterwards.

Companies, editorial & broadcast

Stills and film for companies, editorial commissions, footage for television productions. Images from the archive can be licensed; the terms are on the licensing page.

Drone work — the formalities

Flying commercially takes more than good equipment. In place:

Remote pilotEU remote pilot certificates A1/A3 and A2, issued by Austro Control
OperatorRegistered UAS operator, with operator number
InsuranceLiability insurance for commercial operation

Whatever a particular site needs on top of that — permits in protected areas, above gatherings or inside controlled airspace — I clear before the date.

How a quote comes about

A fixed price list would be dishonest: an evening at a concert and a flight around a hotel have little in common. What sets the price is always the same five things.

DurationHalf a day, a full day, or several dates across the seasons
TravelWithin East Tyrol or further afield
Inside or outInterior flights need more preparation and more safeguarding
PostSelection and processing, and editing on top for film
UsageWhere the images appear, for how long and at what scale

Tell me what you have in mind — what should be shown, when, and what for. You get a quote with a fixed figure, not an hourly tally afterwards.
