Guess you haven't taken any flights for a while. Airline security has
changed drastically over the last several years, including turning off all
electronic deviced during takeoff & landings. Even something so harmless
as a PDA, which I usually have with me to read e-books during a flight.
Most PDAs have wireless connections built-in now, but years ago when I
started using one there was no such thing - didn't matter, it still had to
be off except while the aircraft was at cruising altitude.


Well then, how do professional photographers get their city aerial pics? Do
they have to especially hire aircraft for this purpose?


Yes.
