UAV aerial photography

Does anyone have any experiences in using / operating a civilian UAV company for aerial photography / survey work?

Im thinking of the small rotary, single camera VTOL type not so much the fixed wing, stay up for 24 hrs at altitude.

Ive started looking into operating a UAV for this and was wondering about the legalities / CAA stance on operating a UAV.

I have had bits of infomation including things like, you cannot operate them autonomously, so you cannot set waypoints and let them fly, you cannot use them in built up areas, and they cannot fly out of your sight.

Also what qualifications, if any, are needed for the "pilot"

If anyone can give me some guidance or experience on this I would be grateful.
