Frequently asked questions

I take photos and videos with a drone: is 74.20.12 or the general photography code the right choice?
Yes, aerial footage (including drone work) falls under 74.20.12, which covers aerial and underwater photography. If, however, the drone is only an occasional accessory to a primarily ground-based commercial photography operation, 74.20.19 may be more appropriate.
Underwater photography for tourist and diving services: does it go under 74.20.12?
Yes, underwater photography is precisely what identifies the 74.20.12 code. The criterion is the shooting environment (aerial or underwater), not the client. For generic commercial photographic production, 74.20.19 remains the reference.
Aerial photogrammetric surveys by drone for construction sites: is this aerial photography or a technical activity?
It depends on the output. If you sell the aerial images as a photographic service, you fall under 74.20.12; if you process the survey data into cartographic or topographic data, the activity shifts toward technical services — for example 71.20.19.
