About Us

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”

Ansel Adams said that a century ago. Although I’m no Ansel Adams, he’s a definite influence. And what he said about making a photograph is definitely how I approach my craft of aviation photography. Everything in my images is intentional.

Just as no two planes are the same, no two customers’ marketing needs align identically either. Recognizing this fact is the first step in good customer service. Understanding your specific needs is my first step in the process, and planning my sessions begins there. Do we need to stage anything? Will we shoot indoors or outdoors, in the air or on the ground? Is it a video or still shoot? These are just some of the very basic things I need a feel for before I plan a shoot.

Once we know the overall direction of a shoot, we make it happen. Need us in Dallas on the 23rd? We’re there. Only available between 4 and 6 am for the shoot? We’ll make that happen. You’re busy, and your time is valuable, so you shouldn’t be waiting on your photographer.

You’ll find that my work is a major step up from most aviation photographers, thanks to my background in photographing luxury properties and my focus on clean, even, and consistent composition and lighting. But it’s also because I love making good images, and I care about my photography. And that shows in every image I make.

So let’s get together and make some great images.

Aircraft Photographer

I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember, but my passion for aviation goes back even further. In fact, my fascination with airplanes dates back to July 20th, 1969, when like many of my generation, I watched Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the moon on a black and white TV. It’s no surprise that these two passions have progressed along parallel paths ever since.

Fast forward to today, and as one of Utah’s leading architecture photographers, I’ve honed my skills to capture high-end buildings with exceptional accuracy in both color and detail. With 7 Best of State awards under my belt, I’ve become an expert in my style, approach, and methods. And this expertise is precisely what sets me apart in aircraft photography. I bring a unique perspective, delivering images that are both aesthetically pleasing and true representations of their subjects.
