Narrative:

I was doing a photo mission over a high school. I was trying to keep 1000 ft AGL for the shoot. A phoenix police department helicopter said that he observed me at 400-500 ft AGL. He also said that I crossed the scottsdale airport air traffic area. He followed me back to falcon airport and said that he was going to forward a letter to the FAA. There were also complaints about a low flying aircraft made to the police. If I could do it over again I would contact the school, tell them that I was going to do a photo shoot. I would also contact the FAA to find a minimum altitude to fly at over the photo shoot sight.
