Why choose drone photo & video in Buenos Aires?

In Buenos Aires a photographer working camera-in-hand needs a different permit from one who sets up lights on the pavement, and the second must be requested 4 business days ahead. That is what decides how a session is planned here: the photographer you work with lives in Buenos Aires and works across Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a session that keeps to its schedule and one spent looking for a frame.

The hour matters more than the location. For Paseo del Rosedal (Parque Tres de Febrero), the window to aim for is weekday mornings after the 10:00 opening. The session runs 60 min and is built around that window rather than around your diary — it is the one variable that genuinely changes the photographs, and it costs nothing.

What does the session in Buenos Aires look like?

The typical session runs 60 min across two locations: we start at Paseo del Rosedal (Parque Tres de Febrero) and move on to San Telmo (Calle Defensa). Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops, and the move between them produces the frames made in motion — frequently the truest of the set.

FAQ — Drone photo & video in Buenos Aires

Drone photo & video in Buenos Aires: what time should we book?

For a session at Paseo del Rosedal (Parque Tres de Febrero) in Buenos Aires, aim for weekday mornings after the 10:00 opening. At a busy location, two hours either way changes what can be framed at all.

Do we need a permit to photograph in Buenos Aires?

At some Buenos Aires locations, yes: San Telmo (Calle Defensa) (Public street: camera-in-hand work falls under the BASet general habilitación, and a set with equipment needs a BASet permit requested 4 business days ahead); Caminito (La Boca) (Public street: handheld work is covered by the BASet general habilitación; tripods, stands and lights count as a set and need their own permit); Puerto Madero and the Puente de la Mujer (Public promenades: camera-in-hand under the BASet general habilitación; terraces and dock-side restaurants are private and set their own rules); Recoleta and the cemetery walls (The Cementerio de la Recoleta takes tourist visits daily from 9:00 to 17:00 with paid tickets for non-residents; it is a working cemetery, so sessions stay outside its walls). The photographer tells you at booking which authorization applies and what it costs, not on the day.

What happens if the weather turns in Buenos Aires?

If lightning, a severe-weather alert, or a closed park, road, lake crossing or beach makes the planned Buenos Aires location unusable, the session moves to a new date at no charge. Overcast skies and light rain are working conditions, and often good ones.

When do we get the photos from Buenos Aires?

A session in Buenos Aires is delivered within 7 days, in a private online gallery: 25 edited photos + a 1-minute edited film, downloadable at full resolution from any country.
