Aircraft Photographer in London

Aircraft Photographer in London

International Quality. UK Ready. No Learning Curve.

 

First Impressions Start Here

The moment a buyer, charter client, or partner views your aircraft online, the deal begins — or ends.

And if your photos don’t match the price tag, they don’t just look weak…
They undermine trust, stall conversations, and lose premium leads before they even pick up the phone.

In London — where perception is currency — every frame matters.

 


 

Why London Clients Bring In a Aircraft Photographer in London

London is home to some of the most experienced charter operators and jet brokers in the world. But most photographers here?

Not aviation specialists.

I’m not a real estate shooter guessing at how to light a cabin.
I’m an aircraft photographer — flown in because this is all I do.

What separates pros from generalists:

  • Improper geometry — bowed lines, sloped walls, warped interiors
  • Color chaos — uncorrected LEDs, washed leather tones, wood that photographs “off”
  • Sloppy angles — poor camera height, narrow field of view, no compositional logic
  • Overexposure & crushed shadows — blown windows and black holes where there should be detail
  • No visual narrative — just snapshots, not a selling story

Most generalists don’t even know what’s wrong.

 


 

Who I Am — and Why It Matters

I’m Dave Koch, an award-winning aircraft photographer with 20+ years of experience capturing jets for:

  • Global charter operators
  • VVIP and HNWI jet owners
  • Interior refit specialists
  • Sales brokers from the U.S., EU, UAE and Asia

As an Aircraft Photographer in London, I’ve shot aircraft around the world — from Monaco to Teterboro, Dubai to Dallas, and yes, the UK.

And I always arrive fully self-contained — no rental gear, no excuses, no learning curve.

 


 

Go Bag Ready — Always

I shoot internationally often enough that my entire kit is pre-packed in four custom travel cases.

That means:

  • ✅ No delays sourcing equipment
  • ✅ Everything I need clears customs and fits commercial
  • ✅ I’m ready to shoot the moment I land

It’s not just about talent — it’s about being turnkey ready for global clients.

Why Flying Me In Is the Smarter Move

Some clients wonder why they should fly in a photographer when there are plenty of local options.

Simple: local doesn’t mean capable — and a weak jet photo can cost you a client.

I’ve flown into Biggin Hill, Luton, and Farnborough to photograph everything from charter workhorses to $60M Gulfstreams.

I bring TSA-cleared lighting, calibrated tilt-shift lenses, and 10+ years of aircraft-only experience.

You only get one chance to make a listing click. Bad lighting? Cramped angles? Missed emotion?
That costs you more than airfare.

There’s a reason top operators call me first — even when I’m 4,000 miles away.

Frequently Asked Questions – Aircraft Photographer in London

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 Near London?

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 London area include:

  • Farnborough (EGLF)
  • Biggin Hill (EGKB)
  • London Oxford Airport (EGTK)
  • Stansted (EGSS)
  • FBOs, hangars, and private aprons across the UK

If you operate outside of these airports, I can still get to you. If there’s a runway, I can shoot there.
