Aircraft Photography in Dubai That Commands Attention
In Dubai, luxury is the standard — and your aircraft photography has to match.
Whether you’re marketing a VVIP jet for sale, showcasing a charter fleet, or elevating your aircraft interiors for high-net-worth clients, subpar images will cost you credibility.
Bad photos don’t just underperform — they devalue.
Why Aircraft Photography in the UAE Requires a Specialist
Dubai is filled with talent — fashion, architecture, automotive. But aircraft? That’s different.
Jet photography is its own discipline, and the Gulf region brings its own challenges:
- Reflective materials under harsh Gulf light
- Mixed cabin lighting and LED color inconsistencies
- Tight cabin interiors with complex geometry
- Cultural nuances in presentation and privacy
I don’t guess at these. I’ve built my workflow to solve them — in-camera, on location, and in post.
When the stakes are high, and the client is expecting perfection — that’s when you bring in a specialist.
Why Clients Fly Me In from the U.S.
I’m Dave Koch — an international aircraft photographer trusted by elite brokers, FBOs, charter companies, and aircraft owners across the U.S., Europe, and now the Gulf region.
With over 20 years of experience and clients coast-to-coast, I’m brought in when:
- The listing matters
- The client is important
- The aircraft needs to look flawless
- And there’s no time to waste
I travel with a refined, aircraft-specific kit — four bags, ready to go, with everything needed to light, shoot, and deliver stunning aviation imagery on the ground, fast.
I’m not learning on your Gulfstream.
I’m bringing two decades of jet photography experience — fully tuned and ready to execute.

Frequently Asked Questions – Aircraft Photographer in Dubai
How many images do you deliver per shoot?
Most standard aircraft shoots result in 10–20 fully finished images, depending on aircraft size and scope (interior, exterior, details).
BBJs, ACJs, or full FBO/MRO facility shoots will obviously yield more. If you have specific requirements, just let us know — we’ll make sure to target the right images and shot list.
What’s the turnaround time for final images?
For most projects, we return proofs within 3–5 business days.
Final edited images are delivered within 2–3 weeks after proof approval.
Need it faster? Rush delivery (24–48 hours) is available upon request.
How far do you travel?
I’m based in the U.S. but travel internationally on a regular basis — Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond.
I operate with a fully self-contained “go bag” setup packed into four cases, so I arrive with everything needed to shoot, light, and deliver high-end aircraft imagery with zero logistical delays. No rentals. No surprises.
What Airports do you Service In The Emirates?
Anywhere. I’m flown in for aircraft shoots across the UK, Europe, and internationally — wherever high-value jets need to look their best. That said, the primary locations I serve in the Emirates include:
- Dubai International Airport (DXB)
- Al Maktoum International (DWC)
- Abu Dhabi (AUH) and Al Bateen Executive (AZI)
- Sharjah (SHJ)
- All UAE and GCC airports by arrangement
If you operate outside of these airports, I can still get to you. If there’s a runway, I can shoot there.

Generally, pricing includes:
- Pre-shoot planning (if needed)
- On-site aircraft photography (interior, exterior, lifestyle details as requested)
