Dave Cleaveland, owner of Maine Imaging, has partnered with international aerial stock photography company Latitude Image to create what principals say is the largest catalogued aerial coverage of New England online.

The 3,000-plus image collection covers seascapes, landscapes and nature images from the tip of Maine to the edges of Connecticut. Spanning the nearly 72,000 square miles of the region, Cleveland’s work captures 187 cities and towns in New England, with 104 towns in Maine.

Each image will be mapped and catalogued by Latitude Image, whose owner and founder, Peter Sauleda, says, “We’re thrilled with Dave’s collection — we’re sitting on a heritage collection here. And with Dave’s tenacity, it’s going to keep growing.”

Cleaveland, who works from a R-22 helicopter, ensures a 24-hour turnaround of images.

“Any success I’ve had comes from a strong work ethic and doing my best to give my client what they want, in a very timely manner,” he says.

His principal clients are real estate agencies, property management companies, construction companies and homeowners.

Cleaveland’s work, which has been published in Outdoor Photographer, Down East, Yankee, Condé Nast Publications and others, joins Latitude Image’s international collection covering 37 countries and 2,360 cities.
