Aircraft Photographer in Istanbul — Global Standards in a Crossroads Market
Istanbul isn’t just a stopover — it’s a growing hub for private jet sales, charter activity, and high-end aircraft management.
And in a market where presentation is everything, your photos must reflect the caliber of the aircraft and the brand behind it.
Whether you’re showcasing a Gulfstream for sale, refreshing visuals for your charter fleet, or presenting a newly completed interior refit, I deliver aircraft imagery that looks international, high-value, and ready for serious buyers.
Why Istanbul Clients Bring Me In
There’s no shortage of talented photographers in Türkiye. But luxury aircraft? That’s a different skill set entirely.
This isn’t about lifestyle or real estate — it’s about:
- Precision lighting in tight, reflective environments
- Color fidelity with leather, glass, wood, and LEDs
- Tilt-shift lens work to maintain clean, honest geometry
- Visual storytelling that elevates your aircraft’s perceived value
If your photographer hasn’t worked inside jets, they’re practicing on your jet.
I’m flown in because I already know exactly what it takes.
Who I Am — and Why It Matters
I’m Dave Koch, an international aircraft photographer with over 20 years of experience photographing aircraft for:
- Gulfstreams, Falcons, and Globals
- Large-cabin BBJs and ACJs
- Charter operators across Europe, the Middle East, and North America
- Aircraft brokers and FBOs needing branded visual content
- Interior refit specialists documenting high-end completions
I travel fully equipped and arrive ready to shoot — no rentals, no missing gear, and no delays.
Passport Ready. Go Bag Packed. Always.
I work internationally so often that my gear is pre-packed into four custom go-bag cases, optimized for:
- Fast check-in and customs clearance
- Complete lighting, camera, and staging control
- No compromises — ever — on quality
When I land, I’m ready to shoot. That’s why high-end clients rely on me to represent multi-million-dollar assets without babysitting.

Frequently Asked Questions – Aircraft Photographer in Istanbul
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 Turkey?
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 Istanbul area include:
- Istanbul Airport (IST) — including VIP terminals and hangars
- Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW)
- Atatürk Airport (TAV)
- FBOs, charter operations, and management companies across Türkiye
- Travel to Ankara, Bodrum, Antalya, and beyond available
If you operate outside of these airports, I can still get to you. If there’s a runway, I can shoot there.
