There is nothing quite as photographically interesting as mounting a camera on a radio-controlled helicopter, sending it up into the air, and taking clear as crystal, high-resolution photos from 500 feet up. It brings on a totally new meaning to the term "eye in the sky."
When we think of aerial photography we visualize some guy taking a camera up in an airplane and shooting pastoral pictures of the earth below, in "fly-by" style. But when it comes to aerial photography today, this is truly the least you can do. Advancements in technology over the last couple of decades have caused wireless systems and gyroscopic stabilization, making it possible to take focused, perfect quality pictures through radio controlled helicopter aerial photography. Actually, remote controlled helicopters are the perfect platform for aerial photography, and the applications are usually for commercial and industrial photography purposes.
Not just for taking pictures of the decorative spires of buildings (though that is actually one thing that can be done with a camera set on a remote-controlled helicopter), mounting a camera on an unmanned aerial vehicle allows for aerial photography to better serve in commercial and industrial photography capacities. When the helicopter is equipped with an infrared sensor, it can sense the temperature difference between itself and its surrounding environment. An exceedingly important feature if, for instance, the camera needs to take photos of a petrochemical stack that is not working, and on fire, 500 feet up in the air, and burning at, say, 2000 degrees Celsius. This means the helicopter and camera can be maintained at a thermally safe distance, and it means that high-spec images can be taken of what's going badly wrong at the source of the malfunction. It makes allowance for crews to learn how to respond to the emergency, saving resources, not to mention how much safer this approach is in comparison to sending some poor guy up there in a mylar industrial heat protection suit to look at it.
The remote-controlled helicopter is equipped to permit the operator to see what the camera sees. Once the helicopter is in the right position, a switch on the transmitter can enact the camera. The result is particularly high quality, in-focus aerial photography, and inspectors can inspect from the security of the ground.
Learning how to fly remote controlled helicopters well takes years. For industrial purposes, an expert who specializes in elevated equipment inspections is completely required.

Appreciating that industrial photography is a powerful and developing niche of the photography professional's universe means that photography is hardly just for local photography studios these days.
