What is aircraft photography in Dallas?
Aircraft photography in Dallas captures luxury jets and charter aircraft at airports like Addison (ADS), Love Field (DAL), and DFW. These shoots support sales listings, charter branding, and cabin upgrades — requiring advanced lighting, distortion-free lenses, and precise editing.
Image Isn’t an Add-On. It’s Your First Impression
Whether you’re selling a jet, chartering a fleet, or showing off a refit — your aircraft’s first impression happens online.
And when the visuals are flat, distorted, or dull… buyers scroll past.
Fast.
Bad aircraft photos don’t just look off — they make your operation look unprofessional, and that costs you.
Dallas Has Photographers. But Jets Aren’t Lofts or Lawns
North Texas is full of talented shooters — real estate, architecture, portrait, even drone. But aircraft photography is its own language.
What works in Uptown condos doesn’t work in a Gulfstream cabin.
Jet interiors demand:
- Precision lighting across reflective materials
- Mixed-source light correction (LED + ambient)
- Geometry that maintains scale and luxury feel
- Storytelling that sells experience — not just space/li>
When a generalist is learning on your aircraft, you’re not saving money — you’re hurting the presentation of a multi-million-dollar asset.
Who I Am — and Why Clients Fly Me In
I’m Dave Koch, a nationally trusted, award-winning aircraft photographer with over two decades of experience capturing:
- Private jet sales listings
- Charter fleet marketing
- Luxury cabin refits
- Executive jet interiors for brokers and designers
I’ve worked at Addison Airport (ADS) and Love Field (DAL) and am available for projects across the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area, and even as far away as Admore OK. ANd oyu can count on me for Aircraft Photography in Austin.
What I See From “Good Enough” Photographers
Here’s what I regularly fix from local generalists:
❌ Improper geometry — falling verticals, warped window lines
❌ Wrong lenses — distortion that makes premium interiors feel cheap
❌ Flat, one-point lighting — no depth, no contrast, no draw
❌ Overexposed windows or crushed shadows — no clarity where it matters
❌ No editing strategy — just raw exports or over-baked filters
❌ No visual story — just documentation, not persuasion
A generalist doesn’t know what’s wrong. A specialist prevents it from happening in the first place. ANd beyond just the photography, we go the extra step: Aircraft Photography Production Services.
What You Get
✅ Tilt-shift and compression lenses for accurate cabin proportions
✅ Precise staging and shot planning

Based in Salt Lake City. Hired Nationwide.
Yes — I fly in.
And in this industry, that’s a feature, not a bug.
Bringing in a specialist means you don’t have to settle. You’re not hoping your photographer figures it out — you’re hiring someone who already has.
Flights to Dallas are frequent, fast, and direct — and the return on strong images is exponential.

Client Feedback
“We’ve had multiple aircraft photographed, but Dave’s are the only ones we’ve ever used in every listing and pitch.”
— Aircraft Broker, Love Field
“Dave came in and got us video, stills and 3D. We did two aircraft and 3 models. Seemless.”
— FBO Marketing Director, ADS
I’ve shot multiple charter jets out of Addison Airport, including Global 7500s and Gulfstream interiors for operators marketing across Texas. Dallas buyers are sophisticated — they expect sleek, editorial-style imagery that performs online and offline. That’s exactly what I deliver.
We also do aircraft Photography in Austin and Houston.
Frequently Asked Questions – Aircraft Photographer in Dallas
Where do you offer aircraft photography services?
I shoot private jets and charter aircraft anywhere in the U.S.
I’m regularly flown into major hubs, private airfields, and FBOs in cities across the country. If you operate in or near a major metro area, there’s a good chance I’ve worked nearby — and I’m equipped to be on-site fast.
How soon can you be available?
As these shoots often take me out of town for 2–3 days at a time, I recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance to reserve time and secure the best airfare.
That said, I can fly out with as little as 24 hours’ notice, schedule permitting.
A rush fee applies to bookings made fewer than 5 days in advance.
I fly out of a major U.S. hub and travel frequently for client work — my entire system is built for fast, efficient deployment.
How many images do you deliver per shoot?
Most standard aircraft shoots result in 10–20 fully finished images, depending on aircraft size and your goals.
Larger jets, multi-aircraft fleets, or full FBO and MRO coverage will naturally include more.
If you have specific requests, just let us know — we’ll make sure to deliver exactly what you need.
What’s the typical turnaround time?
You’ll receive proofs within 3–5 business days.
Final edited images are delivered within 2–3 weeks after you approve the proofs.
Need it faster? Rush delivery (within 24–48 hours) is available by request.
Do you offer video or 3D tours?
Yes — I offer both video production and 360° virtual tours on request.
These are perfect for charter marketing, sales listings, or showcasing new refits.
What’s included in your quote?
Each quote is built around your specific needs, but typically includes:
- On-site aircraft photography (interior, exterior, and details)
- Pre-shoot planning (if needed)
- Lighting and travel gear
- Final edited, full-resolution images licensed for your use
Optional: video, 3D tours, staging, rush delivery, or multi-day shoots
Travel costs are billed at direct cost — no markup, no surprises.
