Default San Francisco Bay Area: Need Help with an areal photo shoot

My and my friend are landscape photographers needing to do a photo
shoot over the Marin Headlands GGB area. The requirements a

1) There will be two of us (photographers)
2) Need to be over the area +/- 10min of sunrise
3) Need to open windows to stick the camera lens out
4) Need to do this on a day with low fog over the bridge (We'll fly
above the fog)

We would like to locate a small plane owner. We might need a few trips
(3-5) to get it right.

Thanks,

Erasmo Acosta

You will need to find a commercial operator, perhaps a sky diving operator.
They will be able to open doors and have parachutes and safety harness to
keep you inside.
You may be able to find an airplane which has no struts to block the view
and can have open doors/windows on both sides.

A commercial operator will probably want to know your TSA status.

You have a couple of problems:

Light Cessnas have windows that lift up and out on the doors that are very
suitable for photography, but only one person can shoot out of the right
seat.

And as mentioned, you'll need to find a pilot with a commercial rating
which is not that hard. Buying time with an instructor and an airplane at
a flight school is how many operators do it.
